The STM32F412G-DISCO is a discovery kit from STMicroelectronics that provides a complete solution for users to explore the capabilities of the STM32F4 series microcontrollers. This development board is based on the STM32F412ZG MCU, which belongs to the high-performance STM32F4 family with the ARM Cortex-M4 processor. It is an ideal starting point for creating high-performance embedded systems with a focus on small form factors and low power consumption.

Key Features

• Core: ARM Cortex-M4 with FPU and DSP instructions, running at up to 100 MHz.
• Memory: 1 Mbyte of Flash memory and 256 Kbytes of SRAM.
• Display: On-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer with USB re-enumeration capability: mass storage, virtual COM port, and debug port.
• Audio: SAI audio DAC, stereo audio jack that supports headset with microphone.
• Connectivity: USB OTG FS, user and reset push-buttons, one user LED.
• Expansion: Flexible power-supply options: ST-LINK USB VBUS or external sources. Arduino Uno V3 connectivity support and ST morpho extension pin headers for full access to all STM32 I/Os.
• Sensors: On-board gyroscope and e-compass, with provision for additional sensors via expansion connectors.
