About the ZenCore PCB

ZenCore is an open source STM32 PCB design by Keyaan-07, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 51 × 21 mm, with 34 components from 19 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32F411CEUX, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the W25Q128JVS and TPS62162DSG. By type, the board carries 12 capacitors, 9 resistors, 4 connectors, 3 ICs, 2 switches and 2 diodes.

It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

ZenCore: common questions

What microcontroller does the ZenCore use?

The ZenCore is built around the STM32F411CEUX, from the STM32 family.

How big is the ZenCore PCB?

The ZenCore measures 51 × 21 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ZenCore?

34 components, from 19 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 ZenCore design files?

From the Keyaan-07/ZenCore 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 ZenCore design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Keyaan-07 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the ZenCore 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.
