##Summary:
This repo contains, the "Hardware" files to support STM32 based boards on Arduino version 1.5.x to the latest version (currently 1.6.3) including LeafLabs Maple, and Maple mini, and other generic STM32F103 boards

PRIMARY SUPPORT FORUM: http://www.stm32duino.com/

##Background & Support:

• Based on https://github.com/bobc/maple-asp, which is in turn based on LibMaple by Leaflabs
• Please read the wiki (https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32/wiki) for full details
• See also my blog: http://www.rogerclark.net/stm32f103-and-maple-maple-mini-with-arduino-1-5-x-ide/
• NEW: Main support site for using STM32 boards with the Arduino IDE: http://www.stm32duino.com/
• LeafLabs "Maple Language Reference:" http://leaflabs.com/docs/language.html
• LeafLabs "Maple-Arduino Compatibility:" http://leaflabs.com/docs/arduino-compatibility.html

##Purchase info:
###Entry level boards

• Ebay search for "arduino maple" (currently costs <$5 with shipping)
• [AliExpress search for "leaflabs maple"] (http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20150607085526&SearchText=leaflabs+maple)

Bigger boards (You need to load the stm32duino bootloader)

Some supplier have this board e.g.

* STM32F103VET

*[There is also a STM32F103ZET board which also works, however they are not always available. They have been listed as "STM32F103ZET6 Minimum System Development Board ARM STM32 Cortex-m3 M75"] (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1pcs-STM32F103ZET6-Minimum-System-Development-Board-ARM-STM32-Cortex-m3-M75-/291305557264)
