STM32-USBb: common questions
What microcontroller does the STM32-USBb use?
The STM32-USBb is built around the STM32F103C8T6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the STM32-USBb PCB?
The STM32-USBb measures 44 × 33 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the STM32-USBb?
28 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the STM32-USBb design files?
From the diegomrno/STM32-USBb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the STM32-USBb design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with diegomrno. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the STM32-USBb 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.
