Graduation Project: common questions
What microcontroller does the Graduation Project use?
The Graduation Project is built around the STM32F415RGTx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Graduation Project PCB?
The Graduation Project measures 72.7 × 73.3 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 4.69 mm thick.
How many components are on the Graduation Project?
41 components, from 18 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Graduation Project design files?
From the hamzaaldabe/Graduation_Project repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Graduation Project design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with hamzaaldabe. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Graduation Project 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.
