Never used one but I've just ordered a few - probably stick them on the shelf with the other couple of hundred Chinese modules I've bought on impulse .....
Amazing coincidence... I just received my first pair of these boards yesterday ($1.68 each, including shipping), along with an STLink v2 programmer ($1.94). I tested both boards last night by uploading the 'blink' sketch.
I'm looking forward to lots of reading and research...

I ordered mine from a vendor on AliExpress. Prices seem to be hovering around $1.75 or $1.76 now (prices are somewhat dynamic). Lots of info'... google "STM32F103C8T6 & Arduino"... Checkout the STM32Duino Forum, download Roger Clark's STM32 github repo', drop it into the Arduino 'hardware' folder, select your board in the Arduino IDE, and go...
Nigel, I got the STLink v2 programmer because I ordered a handful of the little "minimal STM8 development boards" (66¢ each) which require a programmer. The vendor actually sent me an extra STM8 board for free. Anyway, the STLink v2 also works very simply and nicely with the STM32 boards so I think it will be a good investment.

I use the STM32, but I have not had much use for these modules as I program/debug them directly. I have been doing some Arduino stuff, though. Does the smaller modules with the Stm32f030 support the Arduino environment?

Not sure if its an error or not, does it have 3 or 4 serial on it? it shows 4 but two are named the same. Having said that even 3 RS232 ports cant be sniffed at.

That is some kit for a mad amount of money!! My first thought was the chip must be a rip off, but even if it was............ Not played with the STM before, got to be worth a go .
Looking back at old threads with the pic 32, hard to believe we can now pick up kit like this for less than COSTA arm coffee!
I like RS232, having 3 on one chip to play with appeals to my sense of fun! Exams around the corner, so not doing my odd jobs, will need to wait to get a couple.
Funny thing is I just had to pay out for some drawing pens for my design exams, they cost more than the ST board!! Wish I had got the board instead now lol
