Yes, it's cheaper than arduino. |

I have never used anything else than the built-in UART bootloader, or my own bootloaders written later. This is just fine, ignore the naysayers.) --- Quote ---learn how to programm it. --- End quote --- This is true, there's quite a bit of learning curve involved. The bright side is, it's going to be a very universal skill, over wide range of projects. I jumped in the STM32 world (from 8-bit AVR) by directly designing it in in an actual customer project and promising delivery in one month :-DD. Funny times. In the end, the customer was satisfied despite delays (took two months to have anything work at all), and I learned a lot, but it happened quickly, and with the customer, we designed a proper V2 (using STM32 as well) a year later, with more realistic schedules. |

This way I reduced BOM, and avoided i2c/spi devices (and writing drivers for them). But I'm yet to finish the project, so not sure how the MCU is good for the job. --- End quote --- Stm32 is expensive. I will stick with what i have to keep the cost down. --- End quote --- Well not really, the STM32F373 cost less than MCP3421A0T-ECH and MCP4922 combined and you'll get everything in one package. And as exe stated higher precision SDADC and IIRC the internal DACs are also better. --- End quote --- Yeah , but then I have to buy the programmer and learn how to programm it. --- End quote --- You can just plug in the usb download the DFU tool from st and flash it real easy. As for the programming it will probably be a bit more complicated, but that all depends on programming experience. The arduino will by far be easier, so if you're more comfortable with that go for it. |

Yeah, some indeed have the USB bootloader. UART works for the smaller STM32's not equipped with the USB peripheral or factory bootloader functionality for it. |
