The Blue Pill is a popular Core Board containing an STM32F103C8T6 or equivalent MCU.

The board is believed to have originated from VCC-GND. However, there are many sellers around selling various variants

== Standard Blue Pill ==
The most common variants are one with a Micro USB connector with 4 mounting tabs, and a variant with a Micro USB connector with 2 mounting tabs. For mechanical stability, the variant with 4 mounting tabs is recommended.

Recently another variant with a USB-C connector has been observed.

For mechanical stability it is recommended to solder the mounting tabs to the board.

Boards sold before 2019 are likely to have an incorrect value for resistor R10. The correct value is 1k5.

The Blue Pill Plus is a variant made by WeAct.

Be aware of a variation in pinout, where on the original Blue Pill, there is a GND and on the Blue Pill Plus it is a 5V. It is recommended to leave this pin disconnected so both variants will work.

Most notable differences are the Blue Pill Plus got rid of the jumpers, and uses a boot button in stead. Furthermore, the Micro USB connector has been replaced with a USB Type C connector.
