Discussion:
This experiment demonstrates the use of the STM32 microcontroller in LED control systems, focusing
on its programming environment and implementation using push buttons. The principles applied in
this experiment are widely used in real-life scenarios across various industries. Traffic light control
systems, smart home automation, industrial automation, medical devices, and security systems all use
microcontrollers for control. Traffic lights operate based on control logic programmed into
microcontrollers, using the HAL_GPIO_WritePin function to change their states. Industrial
automation relies heavily on microcontrollers for process control, with indicator LEDs used to display
machine status. Medical devices like heart rate monitors and patient alert systems also use LED
indicators to show operational status or alert users in case of anomalies. In security systems,
microcontrollers play a key role in access control mechanisms, with electronic door locks using LED
indicators to show access granted or denied. Understanding the basic LED control mechanism can help
build more complex automation, security, and industrial solutions.
