ESC-Hardware: common questions
What microcontroller does the ESC-Hardware use?
The ESC-Hardware is built around the STM32F030K6Tx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the ESC-Hardware PCB?
The ESC-Hardware measures 50 × 35 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the ESC-Hardware?
64 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the ESC-Hardware design files?
From the cveliz/ESC-Hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the ESC-Hardware design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with cveliz. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the ESC-Hardware 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.
