Custom mcu boards: common questions
What microcontroller does the Custom mcu boards use?
The Custom mcu boards is built around the STM32F103C8TX, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Custom mcu boards PCB?
The Custom mcu boards measures 40.9 × 32.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Custom mcu boards?
31 components, from 18 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Custom mcu boards design files?
From the abishek-bupathi/custom-mcu-boards repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Custom mcu boards design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with abishek-bupathi. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Custom mcu boards without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
