Example files for STM8S-blinky

This simple project demonstrates a few tricks that can be done with one of the world's cheapest microcontroller, the STM8S003F3P6.

Source code at Gitlab

There are three branches of this project:

• simple - To start with.
• standard - Controlled through serial line.
• multicolor - Experimenting with a crazy number of colors.

simple - Simple blinky

Just a simple RED/GREEN/BLUE blinky for the first tests.

standard - Standard command set

Communication format is 115200 baud, no parity, one stop bit. Commands start with a command letter, and end with '\n'.

Rxx

Set red led intensity. xx is hexadecimal. 00=off, FF=full on.

Gxx

Set green led intensity. xx is hexadecimal. 00=off, FF=full on.

Bxx

Set blue led intensity. xx is hexadecimal. 00=off, FF=full on.

Pnxxxx

Set PWM for servo control.
n= 0..1.
xxxx= high time in milliseconds. Hexadecimal. 3E8= left position, 5DC= mid position, 7D0=right position.

UUU

Identify. And later may be used for automatic baud rate detection. Please send it first after power on.

V

Get version number.

@xx

Execute test command. Currently known commands:

• 0 - Communication test
• 1 - LED test
• 2 - PWM test

multicolor - 281,474,976,710,656 colors

The same as standard, but R, G, B commands have four digit hexadecimal parameters.
