please are there any books that teach how to use this device and is it possible to program this with the arduino IDE if no than what is suggested? please help
first things first #1 set up the arduino ide by installing the stm cores in preferences ,Next install the STM boards in tools ,Download STM cube and install it , and now look on you tube for arduino STM 32 how to and you will be very happy.
I know you do not want to hear this but here is my way of dealing with these boards ,before I order I ensure I have the cores loaded into my arduino ide, next I check for any arduino bootloader for the board , I insure there is a RX,TX ,boot 0,1 pins...
