Chaac ng: common questions

What microcontroller does the Chaac ng use?

The Chaac ng is built around the STM32L412KBT6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Chaac ng PCB?

The Chaac ng measures 39 × 92 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Chaac ng?

73 components, from 36 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Chaac ng design files?

From the alvarop/chaac repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Chaac ng design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which alvarop chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Chaac ng 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.
