STM32F407VET6 Development Board Cortex-M4

[Sniper]

Hi guys,
I am new here and today i got my STM32F407VET6 Development Board Cortex-M4.
My OS is Manjaro and i have flashed the board in DFU mode.
Is it possible to use Pycharm IDE for writing the code in it?
I have Debugging tools here at home, but as far as i know Pycharm has no option for send the code trough a debugging tool via USB.
So if i am not wrong i have to save the code on to a sd card and place it on the board? Right?
Is there any IDE for this MicroPython that uses a external debugging tool or a programming board to burn the code on to the chip like Arduino and other IDEs out there.
My most important question is, okey i have got this board now, how and where do i start?
this is the link to my board.

You only need to do the DFU flash of the MicroPython firmware once.

From now on you just need to manage Python files on the filesystem, which you can do either with the command line tools (pyboard.py, rshell, etc), or with a MicroPython aware IDE like Thonny or uPyCraft.

Thank you for your reply,
How do i know the Pins? there is PA pins, PC pins, PO pins, i can only see Pin in the code. how do i give the exact pin? example below

Code: Select all

relay = Pin(5, Pin.OUT)
relay.value(0) # to switch it off
time.sleep(2)
relay.value(1) # to switch it on

If it's the same board as the photo then they're labelled with the CPU names (i.e. PA0, etc).

Code: Select all

p = machine.Pin('PA0', ...)

or

p = machine.Pin.cpu.PA0
p.init(...)

p.init(...)

i dont know if this looks right, but i did this in main.py?

this is from my boot.py file

Code: Select all

# boot.py -- run on boot-up
# can run arbitrary Python, but best to keep it minimal

import machine
import pyb
pyb.country('US') # ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code, eg US, GB, DE, AU
#pyb.main('main.py') # main script to run after this one
#pyb.usb_mode('VCP+MSC') # act as a serial and a storage device
#pyb.usb_mode('VCP+HID') # act as a serial device and a mouse

[jimmo]

The ... in p.init(...) was supposed to be where you put the other arguments, like mode and pull.

i.e.

Code: Select all

p.init(mode=Pin.OUT)

I cant thank you enough Jimmo, you have thought me more over one night then i learned over 6 months from Arduino!
Now my code looks like this. is there any example codes for micropython? By the way doas any sesnor or any module work with this boards or do i need specific brand and typ?
