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

muman
muman 3 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.

    Not at all.

    or the upcycling competition?

    I believe we don't currently have an upcycling competition active, unfortunately, but we do have a spring clean competition!

    Excellent writeup Muman!  I've dug my old embedded pi board out and will try your process to program them soon.  I have a couple of other CooCox boards as well that I'll see if I can do something with while I'm at it.

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    But maybe kmikemoo was right, "I'm going to recommend putting your energies into newer toys."
    It's fun though!
