About the Blink PCB
Blink is an open source STM32 PCB design by fluffy, published on GitHub under the BSD-3-Clause license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 119 × 92 mm, with 131 components from 47 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the STM32F405RGTX, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the AMS1117-3.3, AD8397, M24C02-RMN, SN74LVC1G14DBV and CH340C. By type, the board carries 57 resistors, 39 capacitors, 15 ICs, 9 connectors, 4 switches and 3 transistors.
From the project
Blinking lights to tell time
If the schematic or boards in changed such that the software can tell the difference, the rev need to go up a letter. Other changes can get a sub number on the rev letter.
Don't update sybols / footprint from libraries. It over writes stuff.
When done, do a plot to generate schematic in production subdir.
When done, do an export of step to generate a model in production subdir.

Blink: common questions
What microcontroller does the Blink use?
The Blink is built around the STM32F405RGTX, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Blink PCB?
The Blink measures 119 × 92 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Blink?
131 components, from 47 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 Blink design files?
From the fluffy/blinky 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 Blink design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its BSD-3-Clause license, which fluffy chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Blink 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.
