Base design files

The KiCad project lives in the cuspaceflight/m3-avionics repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

Base: common questions

What microcontroller does the Base use?

The Base is built around the STM32F405RxTx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Base PCB?

The Base measures 40 × 33 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Base?

45 components, from 26 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Base design files?

From the cuspaceflight/m3-avionics repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Base design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Base 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.
