__NOTOC__
Welcome to the STorM32-BGC documentation.

You are new to the STorM32 brushless gimbal controller? Then this is the page to go to first: [[Getting Started]].

You want to get one? Then inspect this page: [[Where to buy STorM32 boards]].

You need documentation for your purchased board? Then check out the Vendors Corner here: [[Manuals and Tutorials]].

You miss information or otherwise are unhappy with the wiki? Then consider to get involved: [[#How to contribute|How to contribute]].

The STorM32-BGC is an on-going hobbyist's project and not a commercial product, please understand that. The wiki here is maintained by the STorM32-BGC community in their spare time; you cannot expect it to be error-free, no guarantee is given, and nobody, including the firmware author, can be held responsible for anything.

== How to contribute ==
You're highly welcome to contribute to the STorM32-BGC documentation. That's why it was set up as a separate wiki, to make it simple for you.

In order to contribute, you only need to register, which gives you full editing capabilities. It's as simple as that. :)

'''Don't be afraid to contribute!''' Users will see and check your changes.

A personal note by the firmware author: I'm doing the STorM32 project as my hobby, in my spare time, without financial benefits. It should be clear that it is free only because I do this in my spare time, and it should also be clear that I can't and won't and don't do everything. Documentation is in my opinion the user's duty. So, the wiki here will be only as useful as you, the users, make it useful. :)

== How to use the wiki ==
This wiki is powered by [//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki]. Currently, you can find help on how to use it there.

Flashing the CC3D Atom

2016-03-12T21:01:56Z

OlliW: /* First-Time Flashing Using a USB-TTL Adapter */

On this board the BOOT0 pin is exposed as a solder jumper (it doesn't acces to the SWD pins). The simplest method for first-time flashing is thus to use a standard USB-TTL adapter connected to the UART1 port, which is supported by the GUI. Any subsequent flashing (updating) can be performed as described in [[Updating the Firmware of NT Modules]].

__TOC__

== First-Time Flashing Using a USB-TTL Adapter ==

'''1.''' You will need a standard USB-TTL adapter (see [[STorM32_FAQ#Which USB-TTL should I use.3F|FAQ: Which USB-TTL should I use?]]). Ensure that it is working (drivers installed, etc.).

'''2.''' Connect the serial adapter to the Main port on the CC3D Atom. Do not yet power the CC3D Atom.

'''3.''' Find the BOOT0 solder jumper and close it.

'''4.''' Now power up the CC3D Atom, e.g. by connecting its VCC pin to an external power supply or most easily via its USB connector. 
{{COMMENT|Do not power the CC3D Atom by connecting its VCC pin to the 3.3 V or 5 V pin on the USB-TTL adapter. This power scheme often doesn't work.}}

'''5.''' From the STorM32 GUI select the Flash Firmware Tab and set the fields as seen below. Ensure that the {{GUIPARAM|Use NT boot mode}} check box is '''''not''''' checked.

:[[File:Storm32-nt-firmware-first-time-flashing-cc3d-serial-gui-screen-01.jpg|640px]]

'''6.''' Select the Flash Firmware button and a DOS window opens similar to below:

'''7.''' Open the BOOT0 solder jumper again. The CC3D Atom is now ready to be used as NT imu module.

== Updating Firmware ==

For updating the NT firmware you may again use the method described before, but preferably the "canonical" procedure described in [[Updating the Firmware of NT Modules]].

Flashing OlliW's NT Modules

2016-03-12T20:56:31Z

OlliW: /* First-Time Flashing Using a USB-TTL Adapter */

On all "OlliW" NT modules the BOOT0 pin is exposed as a solder jumper, and each module can thus be first-time flashed using a standard USB-TTL adapter. Most modules also have the SWD pins exposed, which allows a first-time flashing via a ST-Link adapter. Both flashing methods are fully supported by the GUI. Any subsequent flashing (updating) can be performed most easily by the procedure described in [[Updating the Firmware of NT Modules]].

__TOC__

== First-Time Flashing Using a USB-TTL Adapter ==

'''1.''' You will need a standard USB-TTL adapter (see [[STorM32_FAQ#Which USB-TTL should I use.3F|FAQ: Which USB-TTL should I use?]]). Ensure that it is working (drivers installed, etc.).

'''2.''' Connect the serial adapter to the NT bus pins on the NT bus connector. Do not yet power the NT module.

'''3.''' Find the BOOT0 solder jumper and close it.

:[[File:Storm32-nt-firmware-first-time-flashing-01.jpg|640px]]

'''4.''' Now power up the NT module, e.g. by connecting the NT bus connector's VCC pin to the 3.3 V or 5 V pin (either is fine) on the USB-TTL adapter.

'''5.''' From the STorM32 GUI select the Flash Firmware Tab and set the fields as seen below. Ensure that the {{GUIPARAM|Use NT boot mode}} check box is '''''not''''' checked.

:[[File:Storm32-nt-firmware-first-time-flashing-gui-screen-01.jpg|640px]]

'''6.''' Select the Flash Firmware button and a DOS window opens similar to below:

'''7.''' Open the BOOT0 solder jumper again. The NT module is now ready for usage.

== First-Time Flashing Using SWD ==

'''1.''' You will need a ST-Link V2 Programmer or similar. Ensure that it is working (drivers installed, etc.).

:[[File:ST_Link_V2.jpg|250px]]

'''2.''' Connect the programmer to the SWD pins on the NT module.

'''3.''' From the STorM32 GUI select the Flash Firmware Tab and set the fields as seen below:
