Request an "blinky-led" example for completed boards. #10

I have just finished soldering my NTS-1 custom panel which I consider quite an achievement with all the tiny SMD components. I am super excited that Korg has made the design open and can't wait to get involved more.

I'd like to request a way to quickly do a basic test on the completed board; like a "blinky" led test without requiring the whole Arduino toolchain. Basically a binary I can just drop on the STM32 Nucleo ST-LINK "removable drive" and will case the leds to light up, read the switch status and read the potmeter. Ouput to the serial. Then I at least know the board is functional to start with.

I could not find ready to upload binaries for a quick test.

Thanks a lot for this great project from Korg!

I managed to use the MBED Studio MBED. Baremetal example on MBED OS 5.15.5 with a NUCLEO-64 (STM32F030) target. With the Reset jumper set to Debug MODE I could at least create a basic program to light up the led's read the potmeter, read the switches etc... Next step check the communications with the main NTS-1 board.
