Follow Nikolay Kondrashov's journey of learning to write firmware for an STM32 microcontroller (the Blue Pill one) from scratch, using only open-source tools. From blinking LEDs, to controlling a toy car, without the complicated, and license-restricted manufacturer's libraries, or the comfortable crutches of the Arduino stack. Learn where to look for information, which tools you might need, and how to do it yourself with a similar or a different microcontroller.
