Old CooCox Embedded Pi - What can I do with it?

muman
muman 10 months ago

Greetings from Switzerland! A first post, to see what happens...

I recently acquired a CooCox Embedded Pi (nice STM32F103 MCU) for almost nothing. 

The box has element14.com written on it, so I ended up here.
But it seems that CooCox no longer exists (I did find their old github archive, though).

Should I bin it, or is it worth playing with? (Remembering that life is short ;-)

Anyone done any nice projects with it?

Best Regards,
Matt

    Hi kmikemoo. You are probably right! But I quite like the logic level translators on the CooCox board which allow it to work with 3.3V or 5V shields, nice for experimentation. And it has two sets of I…

    Everything works! USB CDC too :-) The only problem is the 3V3 regulator is max. 150mA - it doesn't say that in the docs, but I have a solution.

    I typically use boards like that to improve my smd desolder / rework skills

    You can create applications using stm32 cube ide and flash it using cube programmer under UART mode. Even if it's an older board, it is still a better dev kit than the blue pill or the knock offs.

    OK, I'll give that a try :-)  I guess ST-LINK will work too...
