Looking for STM32 based GOTEK

Hi,

I'm looking for a GOTEK based on a STM32 MCU. These are not manufactured anymore. Newer ones have an Artery MCU. If it was manufactured before the pandemic, most likely it does have a STM32. You can always confirm the MCU by opening the case (just a couple of screws), and if you are still not sure post a good picture of the Gotek's board.

If it has some of the enhancements, like an OLED display, a Rotary encoder, or the Debug header already populated, the better. But this is not mandatory. Firmware is not important, it can easily be replaced or updated anyway.

Thanks,

All mine are STM32 because they were bought years and years ago. If I come across one it can be yours as I replaced mine with GoEx4ST which are a much better physical fit. That said I've not seen them in a while.. so I can't commit 100%.

Out of curiosity why are you after one? The newer Goteks have the Artery AT32F435 which contain a much faster MCU and more RAM.

Hi, shipping is to the US. But I know it would be difficult to find somebody at the US, so I am ready to pay the costs for international shipping.

Thanks, let me know if you find one.

This is mostly for development purposes. I am already used for the STM32 "echosystem" as I did some development in the past. I am familiar with their tools and I have good hardware debuggers. Last thing I want is to waste time with chips that are not so well documented and might even be buggy. Let alone without support from high quality hardware debuggers.
