STM32duino - Blue Pill F103C8

The STM32duino board is based on the ARM Cortex M3 core like the Arduino Duo. The version I use is the Blus Pill.

On Hackaday is a good article about STM32 clones: STM32-Clones - the good the bad and the ugly.


USB Fix

Unfortunately the board comes with a 10k pullup resistor from D+ to 3.3V (in the schematic it's a 4.7k). That can cause problems on some PCs. Just take the R10 out and replace it with an 1.5k resistor.
One might let the 10k resister untouched and just put a 1.8k in parallel. Between 3.3V and pin A1 (PA12).

And here are some useful infos about the pullup resistors on USB:
