Excel String to Date

  • TEXT(value, format_text)Converts numbers/dates to text with specific formatting (e.g., TEXT(A1, "0.00") or TEXT(B1, "mm/dd/yy")). 
  • LEFT(text, num_chars)Extracts characters from the left of a text string. 
  • RIGHT(text, num_chars)Extracts characters from the right of a text string. 
  • MID(text, start_num, num_chars)Extracts characters from the middle of a text string. 
  • TRIM(text)Removes extra spaces from text (leading, trailing, and extra spaces between words). 
  • PROPER(text)Capitalizes the first letter of each word. 
  • UPPER(text)Converts text to all uppercase. 
  • LOWER(text)Converts text to all lowercase. 
  • LEN(text)Returns the number of characters in a text string. 
  • CONCAT / &Combines text strings (e.g., ="Hello " & A1 & "!").

STM32G030 Tutorial

Timer PWM with DMA stops too early on STM32G431

Pinout & Configuration

Unused Pins

The unused I/O pins should be configured as analog input by software; they should also be connected to a fixed logic level 0 or 1 by an external or internal pull-up or pull-down.
Recommended course of action for Unused pin of STM32 MCU
Pin value of a GPIO pin set as high impedance
GPIO outputs are in high-impedance state

HAL

HAL_Delay

Because it’s an “at-least-N-ms” delay with 1ms granularity.
HAL_Delay works and doesn’t work
Is HAL_Delay(1) quaranteed to be close to 1ms?
HAL_Delay(1); takes 2ms

PWM

It takes 2 mins to generate PWM signal in STM32

STM32 LESSON #5: TMER (PWM + DMA)
Confusion about length parameter in HAL_TIM_PWM_Start_DMA

  • On STM32F4 the length seems to be with respect to Data Width in the timers DMA setting
  • on STM32U575 it seems to be measured in bytes (regardless of the GPDMA settings)

  • Reference design
  • PA14 is shared with BOOT0 functionality. Caution is required as the debugging device can manipulate BOOT0 pin value.
  • The debug pins are in AF pull-up/pull-down after reset:
  • PA14: SWCLK in pull-down
  • PA13: SWDIO in pull-up
