Overview
The ARM processor is famous for its efficient processing performance, but one of the downsides to
this is that its developing environment is also quite complicated. Bluno M3, a new product designed
by DFRobot, changes this. The rewritten underlying protocol and development environment have
been rewritten to accommodate for Arduino language usage, giving it full Arduino compatibility.
Bluno M3 has 512K flash memory and 64K SRAM, and the integrated Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) supports
Bluetooth wireless control or Bluetooth wireless programming. This board is suitable for robotic
control or IOT applications and has a good balance between Arduino and ARM processing.

BoardOverview
M3 Hardware UART1 connects to RX1/TX1 and Bluetooth communications port
SCL/SDA is a default internal IIC interface, compatible with Arduino IIC use-pattern
"~": PWM: pins with this mark can output a PWM signal (refer to PWM chapter for more
information)
"Ax": Analog input pins (note: some analog pins and digital pins are using the same GPIO)
"SWD": STM32 debug port

BlunoM3Features
DifferencesbetweenBlunoM3andArduino
1. Overview
The Bluno M3 is different to previous Bluno boards as it is based on a 32bit ARM Cortex-M3
core architecture. A regular Arduino is based on an 8bit AVR core. Due to these differences,
machine commands are also different. Arduino IDE uses avr-gcc, whilst Bluno M3 uses arm-
none-eabi-gcc.
2. Hardware Ports
ADC: Pins marked with "Ax" (e.g. A0, A6, A10) can be used as Analog input ports
Uart: 5 Serial Ports in all (Serial1/Serial2/Serial3/Serial4/Serial5). Bluetooth and RX1/TX1 use
Serial1
SWD: STM32 debug port, you can use debug hardware based on STM32 on these pins
GPIO: All pins can be used as digital I/O, including analog pins
3. Language and Library Software Differences
ADC: Bluno M3 provides two kinds of ADC mode: one is compatible with Arduino, the other is
Bluno M3's unique way: adcMode() and adcRead(), which makes it more powerful. Refer to
Bluno M3 Bluno M3 Reference manual —— ADC ADC Application.
PWM: Bluno M3 provides two kinds of PWM mode, one is compatible with Arduino, the other is
Bluno M3's unique way: pwmMode() and pwmWrite(),which makes it more powerful. Please
refer to Bluno M3 Bluno M3 Reference manual —— PWM PWM Application.
UART: There are 5 UARTs on the board. UART1 is corresponds to the Board RX1 and TX1, and
it is also connected with the Bluetooth communicating port.
