Microcontroller
 STM32F405RGT6 – 64 pins
 Timers - Generate PWM signals to motor, buzzer
 GPIOs – LEDs, IR emitters, push button
 USART – Allows “printf” to display on a terminal
 SPI – Prints data on alphanumeric display
 ADC – Convert analog voltage to a digital number
 1 MB Flash – Store maze info
Microcontroller Pins
 Multi-function pins
Power System - Microcontroller
 Power Supply Schemes:
 VDD = 1.8 to 3.6 V: external power supply that will supply the
voltage for GPIOs (Futura Mouse: 3.3 V)
 VDDA = 1.8 to 3.6 V: external analog power supply for ADC, DAC,
Reset blocks, RCs and PLL (Futura Mouse: 3.3 V)
 VBAT = 1.65 to 3.6 V: power supply for RTC, external 32 kHz
oscillator, backup registers (Futura Mouse: 3.3 V)
 VSSA = GND for VDDA; VSS = GND for VDD
 VCAP: connect 2.2 microFarad ceramic cap between this pin and
GND (External capacitor that decouple power supply)
Power System

 5V regulator
 5V
 Encoders, IR Emitters (anode “+”), Alphanumeric Display
 3.3 V regulator
 3.3 V
 Microcontroller, Buzzer, USART, push buttons

Buzzer
- Buzzer behaves like an inductor
- Diode is used to prevent inductive
kickback
Display
Voltage Meter
Keep track of the battery
voltage to protect the
battery from over
discharging
LED
 2 ways to control LED with
MCU
 The one on left is easier for
wiring since ground is easier
to find
 The way to the right is
better in terms of power,
since power is not drawn
from the MCU
 Futura Mouse uses left
scheme
Push Button
-Futura Mouse uses right scheme
Boot0 Button
 For new MCUs,
Figure 1
Figure 2
bootloading
must be done
just once via
USART
 Boot mode must
be entered first
before
bootloading
 Figure 2 shows
how to save one
button
System memory boot mode
- Bootloader is stored in the system memory (ROM).
- To enter boot mode, set Boot0 high by holding down on the Boot0 push button,
then push the reset button. Boot1 should be connected to GND.
- Using USART, load application programs into FLASH.
Boot0 and Boot1
Reset Button
 Use Reset to reset the state of
the mouse, instead of the
power ON/OFF switch
 This button is IMPORTANT
for entering system memory
boot mode
 Reset is active low
