Motor control design: common questions
What microcontroller does the Motor control design use?
The Motor control design is built around the C79861, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Motor control design PCB?
The Motor control design measures 57.1 × 57.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Motor control design?
78 components, from 28 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Motor control design design files?
From the explosion33/ARES repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Motor control design design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which explosion33 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Motor control design 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.
