X1: common questions
What microcontroller does the X1 use?
The X1 is built around the STM32F103C8Tx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the X1 PCB?
The X1 measures 30 × 80 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the X1?
57 components, from 21 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the X1 design files?
From the embeddedalpha/PCB-Design repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the X1 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which embeddedalpha chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the X1 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.
