BMS: common questions
What microcontroller does the BMS use?
The BMS is built around the STM32F103C8Tx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the BMS PCB?
The BMS measures 100 × 48 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the BMS?
185 components, from 60 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the BMS design files?
From the embeddedalpha/BMS repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the BMS design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with embeddedalpha. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the BMS 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.
