Copter: common questions

What microcontroller does the Copter use?

The Copter is built around the STM32F4-C64, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Copter PCB?

The Copter measures 78.1 × 45.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Copter?

20 components, from 9 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 Copter design files?

From the arcoslab/open-coroco-legacy repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Copter design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Copter 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.
