Hey there

[phil_o_matic]

Hi Folks,

after countless projects with Arduino boards I need more capable controllers by means of processing power and IO. Thought it would be a good Idea to stay with the Arduino IDE but guess what, it doesn’t work out that easily. That’s why I’m here.

Welcome Phil.

Most link will resolve. The WiKi links are most useful.

Using Roger's core, the IDE feels just like UNO... just a few more choices in the board menu. If you jumped directly int the Official core, you may have a bit of learning, but that puts you onto a more complete/professional road using STM's boards.

FYI: A few users have reported fake microcontrollers on Chinese purchased boards, so do some investigations on your supplier before you buy.

There does seem to be some legitimate deviations out there, hoiwever:
