ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design: common questions

What microcontroller does the ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design use?

The ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design is built around the STM32F411RCTx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design PCB?

The ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design measures 69 × 69 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design?

78 components, from 37 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design design files?

From the ArathBV/ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the ME-507-Mechanical-Control-System-Design 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.
