Hi all,
I'm new to ST and was a Nordic device users.
Few questions before jumping into ST.
My need is to build a radio based remote control (not BLE), that means a transceiver for TX on one side and RX on the other one.
Also mandatory: Digital and Analog pins on the board.
I intend to implement FHSS communications between the two.
My questions:
1) if I'm correct the STM32 would fit my needs. Correct?
2) I need a dev board to test my software and comms before moving to production.
After looking around it looks like the STM32WB5MM-DK would be the one I should buy. Is that correct?
3) ST seems to provide all software tools (SDK, IDE, etc...) Do they allow board flashing?
4) Are they free to use? Didn't find that info.
5) once entering production, which chipset transceiver should I implement? Of course it won't be the bulky DK, so is it just a bare STM32? The same as the ones on the STM32WB5MM-DK? Any model?
Out of curiosity, we faced many development problems with the Nordic products, especially with various nRF SDKs breaking upgrades and the Segger compiler. That's why I'm looking for jumping ship.
Thanks for any clarification.
Steve
