Last week my bag of [generic STM32F103C8T6 "Blue Pill" boards][mcu]
arrived.

So far I've flashed [Pill Duck][] and a couple of examples from
[Beginning STM32][book].

Now all I need are some project ideas.

All I've come up with so far are another [Pocket Jim][] or another
[BME280][]-based temperature monitor.
