Hoverboard Motherboard convert to STM32 Development Board circuit tracing Tutorial PART 1
Hoverboard Motherboard convert to STM32 Development Board
In this video, I’ll show you how to repurpose an old hoverboard motherboard as an STM32 development board! We’ll write firmware to blink 3 LEDs one by one using STM32CubeIDE. This is a great way to learn STM32 programming while recycling old electronics.

Explanation
Blink Twice:
Each LED blinks twice using a for loop that runs two iterations.
Inside the loop, the LED is turned on (GPIO_PIN_SET) and off (GPIO_PIN_RESET) with a 200ms delay between each state.
Short Delay Between LEDs:
A 100ms delay is added after blinking each LED twice to create a small gap before the next LED starts.
Behavior
The LED on PA12 will blink twice (on-off-on-off).
The LED on PA15 will blink twice (on-off-on-off).
The LED on PB3 will blink twice (on-off-on-off).
The cycle repeats indefinitely.
Customization
Adjust the delay values (HAL_Delay()) to change the blink speed.
Modify the number of blinks by changing the loop condition (i 2 to i 3 for three blinks, etc.).
