Hi Pekka,

What tool/version was used for firmware? I tried loading the project to STMworkbench but it reports error on not recognizing uint16_t

Should the components in KiCad schematic be connected?

Have you got any progress with posting videos?

Rgds, Tapio

Terve Tapio!

I have compiled this using Eclipse (Luna 4.4.0) and GCC (gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8-2014q2) (https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/) on Debian Linux. Those versions are pretty old, I've had this environment working and have not dared to touch it. :) I'm not familiar with STMWorkbench, but according to what I just googled, it is also based on Eclipse&GCC, so should be pretty close.. uint16_t is defined in stdint.h I think, so it is strange that it is missing. It's been crossing my mind that I should try to upgrade my development environment to more recent versions. Right now I don't have time to really get to it, but I'll post updates if I manage to do that.

I didn't quite understand the question about KiCad. What do you mean connected?

Life has gotten a bit in the way of this hobby, so videos still don't exist.. I've been using the mill in practice every once in a while though, so it is just a matter of shooting that video..

BR, Pekka
