From the project

Quadcopter design based on STM32F411CEU Blackpill flight controller. Compatible with INAV 6.0 firmware.

Website | Documentation | Community Discord | 3D Models & Prints

This is a quadcopter design based on the STM32F411CEU Blackpill flight controller. The flight controller is compatible with INAV 6.0 firmware. The flight controller uses an MPU6500 for inertial measurements and a BMP280 for altitude sensing, and also supports an optional GPS and magnetometer module.

STM32-Quadcopter: common questions

What microcontroller does the STM32-Quadcopter use?

The STM32-Quadcopter is built around the STM32F411CEU1_PINS, from the STM32 family.

How big is the STM32-Quadcopter PCB?

The STM32-Quadcopter measures 70 × 70 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the STM32-Quadcopter?

43 components, from 34 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 STM32-Quadcopter design files?

From the I-M-Robotics-Lab/STM32-Quadcopter repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the STM32-Quadcopter design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which I-M-Robotics-Lab chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the STM32-Quadcopter 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.
