About the Adapter blackpill PCB

Adapter blackpill is an open source STM32 PCB design by Bastardkb, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 93.5 × 67.4 mm, with 24 components from 9 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32F401 / STM32F411 Blackpill Breakout, from the STM32 family. By type, the board carries 12 connectors, 8 resistors, 2 ICs and 2 switches.

Adapter blackpill: common questions

What microcontroller does the Adapter blackpill use?

The Adapter blackpill is built around the STM32F401 / STM32F411 Blackpill Breakout, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Adapter blackpill PCB?

The Adapter blackpill measures 93.5 × 67.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Adapter blackpill?

24 components, from 9 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Adapter blackpill design files?

From the Bastardkb/adapter-blackpill repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Adapter blackpill design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-W-2.0 license, which Bastardkb chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Adapter blackpill 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.
