In this post we are going to read ADC1 channel 10 on GPIO PC0 on STM32F4 Discovery board. First of all we will set the Clock PLL to run the discovery board on full speed with 168Mhz frequency. Later we initialize the USART with the baudrate of 230400 Kbps and finally we initialize the ADC and read the ADC and convert that 12 bit value (which goes from 0 to 4096) to string and transmit this string to Serial Terminal followed by one line break and carriage return.

Here is the complete code for it.

		}
	}

    GPIOD->ODR ^= (1 << 13);
