Syzygy octosdi: common questions
What microcontroller does the Syzygy octosdi use?
The Syzygy octosdi is built around the STM32G031G8Ux, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Syzygy octosdi PCB?
The Syzygy octosdi measures 100 × 50 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6062 mm thick.
How many components are on the Syzygy octosdi?
211 components, from 29 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Syzygy octosdi design files?
From the calebfletcher/syzygy-octosdi repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Syzygy octosdi design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with calebfletcher. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Syzygy octosdi 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.
