Kikeeb: common questions
What microcontroller does the Kikeeb use?
The Kikeeb is built around the STM32F103C8T6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Kikeeb PCB?
The Kikeeb measures 3.6 × 3.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Kikeeb?
412 components, from 106 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Kikeeb design files?
From the JacobDominski/kikeeb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Kikeeb design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with JacobDominski. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Kikeeb 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.
