About the MC stack PCB

MC stack is an open source STM32 PCB design by keeratrajsinghwork, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 70 × 70 mm, with 45 components from 20 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32F411CEUx, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the Micro_SD_Card. By type, the board carries 20 resistors, 15 capacitors, 3 ICs, 2 connectors, 2 LEDs and 1 transistor.

MC stack: common questions

What microcontroller does the MC stack use?

The MC stack is built around the STM32F411CEUx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the MC stack PCB?

The MC stack measures 70 × 70 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the MC stack?

45 components, from 20 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 MC stack design files?

From the keeratrajsinghwork/Stack_based_FC_tMIT 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 MC stack design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the MC stack 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.
