VehicleControlSystem: common questions

What microcontroller does the VehicleControlSystem use?

The VehicleControlSystem is built around the STM32F103C8, from the STM32 family.

How big is the VehicleControlSystem PCB?

The VehicleControlSystem measures 85 × 60 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the VehicleControlSystem?

66 components, from 30 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the VehicleControlSystem design files?

From the KarlVaello/VehicleControlSystem repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the VehicleControlSystem design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which KarlVaello chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the VehicleControlSystem 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.
