        @0pencircuit The answer to your question brings in many parameters to be discussed. No product can become a hit in the market just like that. It involves lot of technical support and some of the best marketing strategies for a product to become popular. But, as we discuss more about technical stuff in here I would give some brief specifications of STM32 why it became a hit in market for learning embedded systems.

        1. Board is designed in such a way that it can be interfaced very easily with Arduino IDE and through it's HAL's like STM32 Cube.

        2. Excellent community support for STM32.

        3. If you observe the size of STM32 chip it's really pretty small which enables it's usage for designing really small and qualitative commercial grade products.

        It is super easy to learn and doesn't involves hard macro forms( to be simple "Syntax"). The best way to learn this board is to download this course. As far as I researched this course has given me good path to learn STM32. They teach you all the concepts very carefully. Download the course from this Torrent Link

          Hi @0pencircuit ,

          Actually the STM (STMicroelectronics) is the company name who makes the STM32 is a family of 32-bit Microcontroller based on ARM architecture and it comes in a wide variety of models and the selection depends on your applications.

            • @milanvarghese No, the battery comes into the play only if there is no power from the solar cell. It's like inverters in our home. They activate only if main power is gone, rest of the time they keep charging. similarly here the direct power will be coming from the solar cell, only if the solar cell can't produce enough voltage battery comes into the loop and starts providing voltage to our circuit.

              @kowshik1729 I have seen this, but doesnt it damage that battery? dischargeing and charging at the same time?

            • @milanvarghese Basically you have cited the solution to your question. yes, you can run the Arduino microcontroller from a solar panel with some protection circuitry in between. There are many tutorials and blogs out there. You can start with something as following.

              Hello I am working on a project using nodemcu.

              In my home for years every day, someone has to walk up to the terrace of the house to check the water level and then turn the motor on/off.

              I am planning to read the water levels in the tank using an ultrasonic sensor and push data into the cloud so that we don't need to go to the terrace to check the water level.

              I would like my nodemcu module to run infinitely all the time using solar power. I have an old solar panel at home which is left unused and was used to charge a solar lamp. What other things do I need to implement this project? what battery should I use?

              How do I implement this project?

            • @Mennyt The general right angled header pins are the cheapest option. Something like this https://robu.in/product/2-54mm-2x20-right-angle-male-header-strip-pack-of-2/?gclid=CjwKCAiA4o79BRBvEiwAjteoYDcmnOSwTUviMZzRBeHz_aENF_fQgj3BrKXAzYs6GIHknHSOJ4_2KhoC1fAQAvD_BwE
