00:00Okay, so if you've ever tried to build an embedded project and found yourself stuck between paying
00:04too much or settling for a board that just doesn't cut it, stick around, because today I'm breaking
00:09down the top 5 STM32 microcontrollers for embedded projects, and trust me, the deals I found are
00:14actually kind of ridiculous. First up, we've got the STM32F103C86 minimum system development board,
00:22and here's the thing, this one comes bundled with an ST-Link V2 programmer, so you're basically
00:26getting everything you need to start flashing code right out of the box. It's sitting at just $4.04,
00:33and with over 4,800 units sold and a perfect 5-star rating, that tells you people aren't just buying
00:38it, they're actually happy with it. If you're a beginner or you just want a reliable board for
00:43tinkering, this is a no-brainer. Next, the STM32F103C86 with the Type-C system development board
00:51module, and I want to point out the Type-C connector here, because honestly, who wants to dig around
00:55for a micro-USB cable in 2024? It also supports the STM32F030C86 and APM32F103CBT6, which gives you a
01:06little flexibility depending on what chip you've got lying around. At $4.01 with 4,280 sold and a
01:134.8 rating, it's a solid pick if you care about convenience and modern connectors. Then there's
01:19this one, and I had to double-check the price, because the SAM32F103C86 board with the STLink V2
01:25programmer is going for just $1.65. Yeah, you heard that right? It's got 4,233 units sold and a
01:354.9
01:35rating, so it's not some random sketchy listing, people are actually buying and loving it. If you're
01:41on a tight budget or you want to grab a few spares for different projects, this is hands-down the
01:46best
01:46value on this list. Moving on, we've got the STM32F103C66 and STM32F103C86 minimum system
01:55development board with a Type-C connector. Now, this one's interesting because you get both chip
02:00options depending on what you need, and the Type-C port is a nice touch for anyone tired of outdated
02:05cables. It's priced at $2.31, with 3,265 sold and a perfect 5-star rating, so if you want
02:14a bit more
02:14versatility without spending much, this fits the bill nicely. And finally, the minimum system
02:20development board supporting the STM32F401 and F411, and this one comes with an original STLink
02:26V2 simulator and programmer. The F4 series is a step up in performance, so if you're doing something a
02:33little more demanding, this gives you that extra headroom. It's $3.58, with 3,184 sold and a 4.9
02:41rating,
02:42and honestly, for the performance you're getting, that's a steal. So there you have it, 5 STM32
02:48boards that won't break the bank and will actually get your projects moving. All the links are down
02:53in the description below, so go check them out before the prices change. And hey, if you found
