VantageF401RE: common questions

What microcontroller does the VantageF401RE use?

The VantageF401RE is built around the STM32F401RET6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the VantageF401RE PCB?

The VantageF401RE measures 80 × 60 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the VantageF401RE?

47 components, from 33 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the VantageF401RE design files?

From the AthulKrishnaGirish/VantageF401RE repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the VantageF401RE design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the VantageF401RE 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.
