TET-Module: common questions
What microcontroller does the TET-Module use?
The TET-Module is built around the STM32L431CCT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the TET-Module?
The TET-Module measures 90.2 × 95.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the TET-Module?
76 components, from 27 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 TET-Module design files?
From the ICDT-Inatel-Cubesat-Design-Team/TET-Module 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 TET-Module design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-W-2.0 license, which ICDT-Inatel-Cubesat-Design-Team chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the TET-Module 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.
