Drone FC: common questions
What microcontroller does the Drone FC use?
The Drone FC is built around the STM32F410CBTx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Drone FC PCB?
The Drone FC measures 28 × 48 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Drone FC?
43 components, from 27 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Drone FC design files?
From the emilyliiuu/birdsimulator repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Drone FC design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with emilyliiuu. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Drone FC 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.
