A couple of years back, I decided to make my own film camera that had to be an open project in order to secure the film consumption. I chose an STM32 microcontroller but ended up developing my own Visual Pin Configurator for it. This took around two years detour - still in constant development but … Continue reading SLR Film Camera – Stage One

ST7735R mini library demonstration
Unlike before, I will present this project/demonstration as a tutorial, to familiarize some random wanderer with the way you create projects in VPC. It is supposed that you watched the movie that helps you set the environment (is posted at the end of the "What is VPC" page), and also you have installed the other … Continue reading ST7735R mini library demonstration
Slotted non-blocking delays example (L152)
https://youtu.be/dGHoElzJrGg Name of the project l152_slotted_nb_delays Description Application will simultaneously blink 4 LEDs at 4 different speeds. This is a demonstration for the library presented in the previous article. It is a simple app, but more complex ones can be written like simultaneously scrolling a text on 4 (or more) 7seg LED displays. reading temperature … Continue reading Slotted non-blocking delays example (L152)
