The *stmdsp* project enables certain [NUCLEO development boards](https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/stm32-nucleo-boards.html) to be used as an educational tool for digital signal processing (DSP). The solution is portable, and can be used without any external tools or lab equipment.
The project consists of three parts: the firmware, which allows users to upload custom DSP algorithms to process signals in real-time; the hardware, which provides the necessary circuitry for interfacing with signals and the host computer; and the computer software, a program currently named [stmdspgui](https://code.bitgloo.com/clyne/stmdspgui) that facilitates algorithm design and execution while also providing numerous analysis features.
The project consists of three parts:
1. Firmware that allows users to upload custom DSP algorithms to process signals in real-time.
2. A [custom add-on board](https://code.bitgloo.com/clyne/stmdsp/wiki/DSP-add-on-board) which provides the necessary circuitry for interfacing with signals and the host computer.
3. [Computer software](https://code.bitgloo.com/clyne/stmdspgui) that facilitates algorithm design and execution while also providing numerous analysis features.
