Hoppy clock: common questions
What microcontroller does the Hoppy clock use?
The Hoppy clock is built around the STM32L432KCU6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Hoppy clock PCB?
The Hoppy clock measures 35 × 48 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.561 mm thick.
How many components are on the Hoppy clock?
50 components, from 28 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Hoppy clock design files?
From the borkdlabs/hoppy_clock repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Hoppy clock design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which borkdlabs chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Hoppy clock 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.
