Flying Fader: common questions

What microcontroller does the Flying Fader use?

The Flying Fader is built around the STM32H7A3VITX, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Flying Fader PCB?

The Flying Fader measures 100 × 130 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.600198 mm thick.

How many components are on the Flying Fader?

89 components, from 37 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 Flying Fader design files?

From the jackr-m/Flying_Fader 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 Flying Fader design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Flying Fader 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.
