STM32F4DISCOVERY board

I got my STM32F4DISCOVERY board a few days ago and I'm so excited to try it.
This board is definitely one and unique board made by st for amateurs and professional to discover easily and with pleasure the strength of the STM32F4 series.

The board is really rich with features (copy past from the STM32F4DISCOVERY datasheet)
  1. STM32F407VGT6 microcontroller featuring 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F core, 1 MB Flash, 192 KB RAM in an LQFP100 package
  2. On-board ST-LINK/V2 with selection mode switch to use the kit as a standalone ST-LINK/V2 (with SWD connector for programming and debugging)
  3. Board power supply: through USB bus or from an external 5 V supply voltage
  4. External application power supply: 3 V and 5 V
  5.  LIS302DL, ST MEMS motion sensor, 3-axis digital output accelerometer (Amazing !!!)
  6.   MP45DT02, ST MEMS audio sensor, omni-directional digital microphone
  7. CS43L22, audio DAC with integrated class D speaker driver
  8. Eight LEDs:LD1 (red/green) for USB communicationLD2 (red) for 3.3 V power onFour user LEDs, LD3 (orange), LD4 (green), LD5 (red) and LD6 (blue)2 USB OTG LEDs LD7 (green) VBus and LD8 (red) over-current
  9. Two push buttons (user and reset)
  10.  USB OTG FS with micro-AB connector (amazing for a microcontroller) 
  11. Extension header for all LQFP100 I/Os for quick connection to prototyping board and easy probing


This board can be used in many application with its DSP it can solve complex Digital signal functions used in filter computing plus it has the FPU (Floating point unit) that allows the STM32F4 to deal with floats up to 10exp-18 precision and that would be very useful in application that needs media processing or precision calculations.

I will post some tutorials talking about my experience with board.

Cheers ;)
