Perdican: common questions

What microcontroller does the Perdican use?

The Perdican is built around the STM32G431CBT6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Perdican PCB?

The Perdican measures 37.1 × 39.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Perdican?

35 components, from 15 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 Perdican design files?

From the Gabouin/perdican repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Perdican design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Gabouin chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Perdican 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.
