Multitool: common questions
What microcontroller does the Multitool use?
The Multitool is built around the STM32F042, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Multitool PCB?
The Multitool measures 68.6 × 95.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Multitool?
84 components, from 38 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Multitool design files?
From the cnlohr/stm32f042_fun repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Multitool design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with cnlohr. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Multitool 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.
