Onboarding Task

Onboarding process

It will help if you compile (run `make -j4') at each of these steps.

• Create a new branch named onboarding-yourname
• copy the chibios-example folder to a folder named onboarding/yourname
• Import this folder into ChibiStudio
  • Open File->Import...z
  • Choose C/C++->Existing Code as Makefile Project
  • Choose your project name, and find the folder fro the code location.
  • Select the Cross GCC toolchain
  • Verify you can build, enter Ctrl+B
• Configure the GPIO to use ADC1 on a pin in the 64 pin package of the STM32
  • Read the datasheet to determine which pins can be used with ADC1
  • Read the reference manual to determine what modes to set the pins to to be useful
• Configure the ADC
  • Enable ADC1 in cfg/halconf.h and in cfg/mcuconf.h
  • call adcInit
  • call adcStart with no configuration
  • read the STM32 reference manual and figure out how to configure the channel you need
    • sections 15.3.11 and 15.5.10 are relevant here
• Read the ADC values
  • In the main loop (or a new thread if you're feeling adventurous), read the ADC every second, and write those values out to UART.
• Create a pull request to master
