From the project

Experimental PCB based on an STM32 microcontroller with USB type B

STM32-USBb is an experimental PCB based on an STM32 microcontroller, designed for research and prototyping purposes.

This board is part of the Raptor project by Infinite.

- U1 : STM32 (STM32F103C8T6) microcontroller (main MCU) - U2 : 3.3 V linear voltage regulator

- Y3 : 16 MHz external crystal (MCU clock)

- J1, J2, J3 : Pin headers (GPIO / debug / expansion) - J4 : USB Micro-B connector (power + USB data)

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.
