About the Noah hardware PCB
Noah hardware is an open source STM32 PCB design by GonzaCerv, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 120 × 100 mm, with 122 components from 44 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the STM32F407VGTx, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the ROB-14450, GY-91, VND830SPTR-E, GY-NEO6MV2 and XL4015. By type, the board carries 33 resistors, 30 capacitors, 23 connectors, 15 ICs, 15 diodes and 3 switches.
It belongs with the robotics & motion and sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
This repo contains all the hardware description for the Noah project. Here lies 3D models, electronics PCB and Firmware software of the robot.

As a final thesis project of Electronics engineering, I decided to build a robot from scratch. All the design was made in order to build the robot with parts that can be bought in Argentina.
Take a look to the other repos related to this project:
The robot is made out of 3D printed parts, some parts made with 3mm laser cut and vitamins. All the parts were designed with Solidworks. You can find those parts as well as files for construction in the 3D model section.

Noah hardware: common questions
What microcontroller does the Noah hardware use?
The Noah hardware is built around the STM32F407VGTx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Noah hardware PCB?
The Noah hardware measures 120 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Noah hardware?
122 components, from 44 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Noah hardware design files?
From the GonzaCerv/noah-hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Noah hardware design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which GonzaCerv chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Noah hardware 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.
