Wideband controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Wideband controller use?

The Wideband controller is built around the STM32F042K6TX, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Wideband controller PCB?

The Wideband controller measures 29 × 20.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Wideband controller?

59 components, from 28 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 Wideband controller design files?

From the jlwinland/wideband repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Wideband controller design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Unlicense license, which jlwinland chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Wideband controller 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.
