Getting started

Follow the sequence below to configure the STM32F3DISCOVERY board and launch the
DISCOVER application:
1. Check the jumper positions on the board, JP3 ON, CN4 ON (DISCOVERY selected).
2. Connect the STM32F3DISCOVERY board to a PC with a USB cable Type-A or USB
Type-C
board. The red LEDs LD1 (PWR) and LD2 (COM) light up.
3. The eight LED indicators blink sequentially.
4. Press the USER button to enable the ST MEMS gyroscope. Hold the board horizontally
then tilt it. Observe how the blinking of the LEDs indicates the gyroscope movement.
Press the USER button again and the LEDs restart blinking sequentially.
5. Press the USER button to enable the MEMS acceleration sensor. Hold the board
horizontally then tilt it. Observe how the blinking of the LEDs indicates the tilt of the
board relative to the horizontal plane. Press the USER button again and the LEDs
restart blinking sequentially.
6. Press the USER button. LD3, LD6, LD7, and LD10 are ON. The board is recognized as
a standard mouse (the board must be connected through the USB USER connector).
Move the board to control the cursor on the screen. Press the USER button again and
the LEDs restart blinking sequentially.
7. The demo application software as well as other software examples for exploring
STM32F3 features are available at www.st.com/stm32f3discovery.
