AudioVisualizer: common questions
What microcontroller does the AudioVisualizer use?
The AudioVisualizer is built around the STM32F401RETx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the AudioVisualizer PCB?
The AudioVisualizer measures 129.1 × 32.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the AudioVisualizer?
42 components, from 23 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the AudioVisualizer design files?
From the Gex-devs/AudioVisualizer repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the AudioVisualizer design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Gex-devs. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the AudioVisualizer 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.
