Example project on how to setup a STM32 Microcontroller with USB port to run the BleuIO dongle with the STM32 as a USB CDC Host and control LCD display connected to it.
- Two BleuIO dongle (https://www.bleuio.com/)
- A board with a STM32 Microcontroller with a USB port. (A Nucleo-144 development board: NUCLEO-H743ZI2, was used developing this example. (https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/nucleo-h743zi.html)
To connect the dongle to the Nucleo board we used a "USB A to Micro USB B"-cable with a USB A female-to-female adapter.) - STM32CubeIDE (https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeide.html)
- Liquid Crystal Display Module – NHD-0420D3Z-NSW-BBW-V3 (https://www.newhavendisplay.com/nhd0420d3znswbbwv3-p-5745.html)
Either clone the project, or download it as a zip file and unzip it, into your STM32CubeIDE workspace.
- From STM32CubeIDE choose File>Import...>General>Existing Projects into Workspace then click 'Next >'
- Make sure you've choosen your workspace in 'Select root directory:'
- You should see the project "stm32_bleuio_example", check it and click 'Finish'.
