# Selecting MCU

At this point, Arduino should be ready to work with a wide variety of STM32 microcontrollers. We need to specify which exact one we're going to use. Today our star is **STM32G474RExx**.

Open Arduino IDE and do the following:

* Select the "**Generic STM32G4 series**" in the "**Board**" field:\
  Tools->Board->STM32 boards groups->Generic STM32G4 series

Если в списке плат у вас стоит что-то другое, то кликните на стрелочку внизу и выберите Select Other Board and Port. Укажите необходимые названия и нажмите OK.
