Quick start UM1570

6/36 Doc ID 023594 Rev 2

2 Quick start

The STM32F3DISCOVERY is a low-cost and easy-to-use development kit to quickly

evaluate and start development with an STM32 F3 series microcontroller. Before installing

and using the product, please accept the Evaluation Product License Agreement from

www.st.com/stm32f3discovery. For more information on the STM32F3DISCOVERY and for

demonstration software, visit www.st.com/stm32f3discovery.

2.1 Getting started

Follow the sequence below to configure the STM32F3DISCOVERY board and launch the

DISCOVER application:

1. Check the jumper positions on the board, JP3 on, CN4 on (DISCOVERY selected).

2. Connect the STM32F3DISCOVERY board to a PC with a USB cable type A to mini-B

through the USB ST-LINK or USB USER connector to power the board. The red LEDs

LD1 (PWR) and LD2 (COM) light up.

3. The eight LED indicators blink sequentially.

4. Press the USER button to enable the MEMS gyroscope sensor.

5. Observe how the blinking of the LEDs indicates the gyroscope movements.

6. Press the USER button again to enable the MEMS e-compass sensor.

7. Keep the board in a horizontal position. One of the eight LEDs lights up to indicate the

direction of the north.

8. Tilt the board and the eight LEDs blink again

9. To examine or modify the Discover project related to this demo, visit

www.st.com/stm32f3discovery and follow the tutorial. Discover the STM32F303xx MCU

features, download and execute programs proposed in the list of projects.

10. Develop your own application using the available examples.
