Typhoon telemetry transmitter: common questions

What microcontroller does the Typhoon telemetry transmitter use?

The Typhoon telemetry transmitter is built around the STM32F103C8Tx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Typhoon telemetry transmitter PCB?

The Typhoon telemetry transmitter measures 36.5 × 26 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Typhoon telemetry transmitter?

20 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Typhoon telemetry transmitter design files?

From the hpvdt/typhoon_electronics repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Typhoon telemetry transmitter design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Typhoon telemetry transmitter 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.
