The Arduino forum is really for official Arduino products and not the place for third party supported devices.</p> <p>Clearly, there is popular interest in STM32 boards, not so much Maple. There are quite a lot of things about the Maple code that can be improved, it was kinda half done, and there was little sign of improvements coming from Maple, none now.</p> <p>So that leaves one active forum, and congrats to Roger for setting it up. I think far from fragmenting things, he is moving things forward with a forum that has active interest. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=74431#post-105724 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 19:30:51 +0000 gbulmer 105724@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>@rogerclark - why not use arduino.cc or here?</p> <p>It seems pointless fragmenting communities into three forums. </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=74431#post-105723 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 17:28:02 +0000 rogerclark 105723@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Guys,</p> <p>By popular demand I have created a new forum for anyone interested in STM32 on Arduino, especially the Maple and Maple mini, but also for generic STM32F103 boards</p> <p>Its early days, but the new forum is at</p> <p><a href="http://www.stm32duino.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stm32duino.com/</a></p> <p>So please take a look, or post if you have a question</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Roger Clark </p>
