Base: common questions
What microcontroller does the Base use?
The Base is built around the STM32F042F4PX, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Base PCB?
The Base measures 52.3 × 52.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Base?
36 components, from 13 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 Base design files?
From the google/mozc-devices repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Base design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which google chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Base 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.
