Project 03- STM32F4xx PID controller

CMSIS files from ARM provides ARM Math functions. There are also PID controller functions in different formats for f32, q31 and q7. This tutorial/project will talk about how to implement PID controller on STM32F4xx using PID functions from ARM. PID Controller Fast about PID controller. PID stands for Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller. This is a control loop feedback mechanism widely used in industrial control systems. It calculates the error between measured value and the desired setpoint value. According to the error, it...

MPU-6050 6-axes gyroscope and accelerometer 113

Library 43- MPU-6050 6-axes gyro and accelerometer for STM32F4

MPU-6050 is a 3-axes accelerometer and 3-axes gyroscope MEMS sensor in one piece. It can also measure temperature. It is very cheap device but also very powerful. It can measure simultaneously three (X, Y and Z) channels for accelerometer and gyroscope at the same time with 16-bit resolution. This chip is also compatible with MPU9150, except that MPU9150 has 3axes magnetometer (or compass) included. MPU-6050 Features Accelerometer 4 selectable full scales (2G, 4G, 8G and 16G) Gyroscope 4 selectable full scales...

Library 42- Control RC servo with STM32F4

Library 42 allows you to simple connect and interface RC servo motors with STM32F4. They are small, cheap motors, commonly used for RC (Radio Control), small scale robotics and more. Servos are really simple to interface. They expect 50Hz signal on the input. According to the pulse length (duty cycle) they rotate between 0 and 180 degrees. If signal has 1ms pulse length, motor rotation will be 0 degrees and if signal has 2ms length, then it will have 180degrees rotation. Any pulse length...

STM32F4 FFT example

As you maybe know, STM32F4 is Cortex M4 with DSP instructions. This allows you to make a FFT with a few simple steps. For that purpose, I have made an example, on how to create FFT with STM32F4. I recommend use my FFT library for future use. It is built on ARM DSP library with everything included for beginner. When the ARM company issued Cortex-M4 core, it also published DSP libraries for mathematics and other stuff. And there are also...

Library 35- LIS302DL or LIS3DSH accelerometer

Maybe you’ve noticed one chip between four leds on STM32F4-Discovery board. This chip is accelerometer. On market, there are 2 versions of STM32F4-Discovery board. First release had LIS302DL (old board) and new release (current) has LIS3DSH device. LIS3DSH has 5 selectables full scales (2/4/6/8/16G), old LIS302DL has only 2 (2.3/9.2G). I made a simple library which supports both devices. Library automatically recognize connected device, if there is any. You just have to check which is on board, because different devices...

Library 33- PWM for STM32F4

I had enough of each time configuring PWM for some reason, so I decided to make a library for it. This library allows you to use PWM signal on all possible timers on all possible pins for timer. I made it for controling servos, but it can be used for anything else. PWM works in FAST PWM mode. You just set your PWM frequency, timer you will use, channel on timer and you are ready to go. If you need...
