STM32F103C8T6 Blue Pill SysTick LED Blinking

Systick is timer that come with all of ARM Cortext-M3 micro-controllers. It's useful for creating a precise timing delay, time measurement, multi-tasking, etc.

In this example, I will use STM32 ARM SysTick to blink an LED. It's the built-in LED on STM32 Blue Pill module.

STM32F103C8T6 Blue Pill Switch And Multiplexing Display Interface Using SysTick

In previous post, I have wrote about using STM32 ARM SysTick to drive a multiplexing display. In this post, it's similar to the previous one's. Additionally I will add a push button to count the number of switch pressing. This button also use SysTick too. It's periodically check the switch pressing event.

Running Program On Breadboard

It will count up to 999 before it rolls down to 0. Input button is active low. It's pulled up by software without external resistor.

Simulating Program In Proteus 8.15

 I have to to configure the OSC frequency and other settings to make to run properly.

MCU Properties

STM32CubeIDE is easy to use because it has code generation wizard.
