  • Dear E14 Community and fellow challengers,

     

    Something else I don't quite understand and I've been going around in circles is how to start my own project using the SensorTile. I could do one of two things:

     

    (1) Load up an existing SensorTile project in my IDE of choice (TrueStudio), modify it and use that.

     

    (2) Start a fresh project in my IDE.

     

    For option (1) I can do this as shown in my example above where I added my name to prove to myself I could change the code. The difficultly I have is how do I add the UART to this existing project or any other peripherals. I've searched all the files for that project and can only find reference to UART pins at the very lowest level....no library or functions I can call. I used STM32CubeMX to create my own project using the STM32L476 (as used on the SensorTile) and activated the UART before inspecting that code. I somehow need to combine that with my existing sensortile project (and hope nothing clashes re: resource constraints).

     

    For option (2) I thought I would need the CubeL4 (for SensorTile) and CubeF4 (for base Nucleo board). Either from the Eclipse Addin for TrueStudio, or via the separate program, I can run STM32CubeMX which is designed to make the code for either (a) a standalone MCU or (b) a vendor board. The SensorTile is not listed under the vendor boards (v5.0.1 of STM32CubeMx).

     

     

    The STM32 website talks about packages such as the FP-SNS-ALLMEMS1/2 and STLKT01 as if they integrate into either STM32CubeL4/F4 or MX but I cannot get them to add in. I can load the projects in them and run them but again I have no idea how to heavily modify the functions of them.

     

    Any pointers would be really appreciated.

     

    This seems a bit of a stumbling point, for me at least: do you know if anyone from the STMIcroelectronics team is watching the E14 community? I recall for some roadtests the vendor has jumped straight in to assist. There seems to be a wealth of information, almost too much, and I cannot always converse what I am having trouble with.

    Hey Rod, I will see who I can summon!
