The KiCad project lives in the AQUA-Warrior/steering-system repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

Steering: common questions

What microcontroller does the Steering use?

The Steering is built around the STM32F732RET6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Steering PCB?

The Steering measures 67 × 33 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Steering?

36 components, from 24 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 Steering design files?

From the AQUA-Warrior/steering-system 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 Steering design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with AQUA-Warrior. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Steering 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.
