Fin panel: common questions

What microcontroller does the Fin panel use?

The Fin panel is built around the STM32L412K8Ux, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Fin panel PCB?

The Fin panel measures 352 × 205.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Fin panel?

43 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Fin panel design files?

From the Helios-Rocket/fin-strain-gauge repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Fin panel design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Fin panel 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.
