Modulation Source: common questions
What microcontroller does the Modulation Source use?
The Modulation Source is built around the STM32F405RGT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Modulation Source PCB?
The Modulation Source measures 99.1 × 68.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Modulation Source?
73 components, from 44 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 Modulation Source design files?
From the JordanAceto/angelo_modular repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Modulation Source design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-4.0 license, which JordanAceto chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Modulation Source 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.
