STM32 Mbed CodeIDE (1/8): first blink

Students use STM32 Mbed CodeIDE to edit main.cpp, compile and upload a DigitalOut blink program, and record LED evidence from the real board.

• Recognize the STM32 Mbed CodeIDE workflow and the `main.cpp` entry file.
• Write a minimal Mbed program with `DigitalOut` and `ThisThread::sleep_for()`.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

STM32 Mbed CodeIDE (2/8): LED sequences and timing

Students program timed LED sequences on a real STM32 board with Mbed DigitalOut and delays, then change timing and explain the observed order.

• Control several Mbed `DigitalOut` pins in a planned sequence.
• Use timing changes to make an output pattern easier to observe.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

STM32 Mbed CodeIDE (3/8): buttons, pull-ups, and debounce

Students read active-low pushbuttons with Mbed DigitalIn and PullUp, test debounce behavior, and connect button evidence to LED output on a real STM32 board.

• Read a push button with Mbed `DigitalIn`.
• Verify whether the button behaves as active-low in the current lab view.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

STM32 Mbed CodeIDE (4/8): serial debugging with printf

Students use printf serial debugging in STM32 Mbed CodeIDE to compare expected and actual behavior, then fix a mismatch with evidence.

• Use `printf()` to observe what a running Mbed program is doing.
• Print integer values instead of relying on floating point formatting.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

STM32 Mbed CodeIDE (5/8): analog voltage warning

Students read a potentiometer with Mbed AnalogIn, convert the value to a voltage warning, and verify threshold behavior on the real board.

• Read an analog input with Mbed `AnalogIn`.
• Convert a normalized reading into approximate millivolts.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

STM32 Mbed CodeIDE (6/8): PWM brightness and RGB control

Students use Mbed PwmOut to control LED brightness and RGB color levels, then record how duty cycle changes real-board output.

• Use Mbed `PwmOut` to control output brightness.
• Relate duty cycle to visible brightness or color balance.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

STM32 Mbed CodeIDE (7/8): servo position control

Students control a servo with Mbed PWM pulse widths, test positions safely, and record approximate movement evidence from the remote STM32 setup.

• Control a servo output with Mbed `PwmOut`.
• Map a potentiometer reading to an approximate angle.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

STM32 Mbed CodeIDE (8/8): integrated controller capstone

Students combine analog input, button acknowledgement, RGB/status LED output, and serial evidence to build a small integrated STM32 controller.

• Combine analog input, button input, RGB PWM output, a status LED, and serial evidence in one controller.
• Use a test matrix to prove controller behavior one state at a time.

Includes student questions and response prompts.
