Basic STM32 Bluepill: common questions

What microcontroller does the Basic STM32 Bluepill use?

The Basic STM32 Bluepill is built around the STM32F103C8T6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Basic STM32 Bluepill PCB?

The Basic STM32 Bluepill measures 43 × 34 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Basic STM32 Bluepill?

28 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Basic STM32 Bluepill design files?

From the flamerten/Basic_STM32_Bluepill repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Basic STM32 Bluepill design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with flamerten. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Basic STM32 Bluepill 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.
