Wow, I thought naming was straight forward!
Well, this chip is the smallest of the STM8S family as far as I can tell. I recently had the need for a small 5V compatible microcontroller and I have started a big project using STM32’s.. they are only 3V however, so I started looking in the ‘low end’ of the ST parts. That’s when I found this. The STM8S001J3.
I’ve made two small videos on how to connect it (it’s just a 1uF cap to get it running) using the STLINK V2 which I got from eBay for $4. Pretty cheap to get started!
I’m using the IAR embedded workbench with their kickstart edition (code limit is 8k) – the chip have 8k of memory so that fits my needs perfectly!
Enjoy:
The chip is not very fun without any libraries but luckily we have the ST ‘Standard Peripheral Library’. In the video below I show you how to use those and make the chip dance to our tune…
Well, that’s all for now! Leave a comment if you found this useful 🙂
