About the Kicad helper PCB

Kicad helper is an open source STM32 PCB design by gary9716, published on GitHub. It is a board, with 3 components from 1 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32_DEMO, from the STM32 family.

From the project

A Python library and CLI helper tool to automate symbol generation, collision-free placement, and orthogonal wire routing for KiCad v6+ schematics (.kicadsch) and symbol libraries (.kicadsym).

1. Auto-expansion of Symbol Dimensions: Automatically calculates symbol body size to prevent opposite or adjacent pin names from overlapping. 2. AABB Overlap Resolution: Iteratively resolves overlaps of placed symbol bodies in the schematic and snaps symbols to the grid (1.27 mm). 3. Orthogonal Wire Routing (A): Routes wires orthogonally, snapping precisely to the standard 1.27 mm grid. It…

Kicad helper: common questions

What microcontroller does the Kicad helper use?

The Kicad helper is built around the STM32_DEMO, from the STM32 family.

How many components are on the Kicad helper?

3 components, from 1 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Kicad helper design files?

From the gary9716/kicad-helper repository on GitHub, which has the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Kicad helper design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with gary9716. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Kicad helper 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.
