Excellent value for money Review by Roger: This board is a redesign of the original Maple board (not the Maple RET6) and uses the STM32F103RB microcontroller.

There should be no need to press the 2 buttons before upload. However I have notice the board seems to need to be reset after upload, using the reset button, otherwise the USB Serial device doesn't get activated.

I'm using the Arduino 1.6.3 IDE with files from my GitHub repository https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32/wiki and it works fine.

It would have be an even better board if the STM32F103RB was replaced with either the STM32F103RC or the STM32F103RE , as both of these devices have DAC's but the RB version doesn't :-(

Never the less, this is an excellently well made board and at the sale price of $13 for which I bought it, its excellent value. (Posted on 4/14/2015)
Pretty Good Board Review by Weston: Overall, I'm happy with the board. If you have a shield that has extra pins, the capacitors near the power jack can get in the way. A simple adapter shield solves that problem.

As Carlos L. pointed out, the buttons are a bit inconvienent, but this is due to the Maple bootloader. Once I get my openocd board, I'm replacing the bootloader all together.

If you're interested in ARM & don't care too much about Arduino software, it's a nice board that enables quick prototyping. (Posted on 12/10/2012)
Be prepared for dissapointment Review by Carlos L: The board quality is ok, But have a terrible design error, that force you to always press 2 small keys to load any program, the problem is that those keys can't be acessed if you are using a shield, This meams that you must disconect the shied, download the program, and conect the shield again, A ridiculus solution, because the board have a lot off space near the usb cable, where is the right place to put this buttons, also the buttons are so near that you need a tool to press, with finger's is very unconfortable. If you worked with arduino you will be hungry because there is everthing automaticly no buttons to program, Another point that the original maple is better, is that there you have a copy off cpu pins available on pads near the shied conector and here not. Some very simple things that turn a good board and a not so good one. (Posted on 8/15/2012)
