The STM32F0DISCOVERY helps you to discover the STM32F0 Cortex-M0 features and to develop your applications easily. It includes everything required for beginners and experienced users to get started quickly.

 

Based on the STM32F051R8T6, it includes an ST-LINK/V2 embedded debug tool, LEDs, pushbuttons and an additional prototyping board for easy connection of additional components and modules.
Features
  • STM32F051R8T6 microcontroller featuring 64 KB Flash, 8 KB RAM in an LQFP64 package
  • On-board ST-LINK/V2 with selection mode switch to use the kit as a standalone STLINK/V2 (with SWD connector for programming and debugging)
  • Board power supply: through USB bus or from an external 5 V supply voltage
  • External application power supply: 3 V and 5 V
  • Four LEDs:
    • LD1 (red) for 3.3 V power on
    • LD2 (red/green) for USB communication
    • LD3 (green) for PC9 output
    • LD4 (blue) for PC8 output
  • Two push buttons (user and reset)
  • Extension header for all LQFP64 I/Os for quick connection to prototyping board and easy probing
  • An additional board is provided which can be connected to the extension connector for even easier prototyping and probing.
STM32 F0 series Entry-level Cortex™-M0 MCU
The ARM Cortex-M0 based STM32 F0 series delivers 32-bit performance and the essential DNA of the STM32. The STM32 F0 benefits from the combination of real-time performance, low-power operation, advanced architecture and peripherals associated to the STM32 ecosystem.
The new series bridges the gap with applications using 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers, enabling advanced high-end features in economical end products. The STM32 F0 series offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability for home-entertainment products, appliances, and industrial equipment.
STM32 F0 devices are available in UFQFPN32, LQFP48 and LQFP64 packages.

  • I'm pretty beginner, so please forgive the stupidness of this question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. There's a few places on the internet that mention the board is breadboardable, genius, but it looks too wide for most of the breadboards I've seen. How would the more experienced amongst you do this, with a single huge breadboard or a couple of the more common narrower ones?
