About the Longboi PCB

Longboi is an open source STM32 PCB design by KungfuPancake, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 358 × 40 mm, with 285 components from 57 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32H723VGTx, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the SN74LVC245APW, TMC2209-LA, DRV8837, 74LVC1G126 and TPS2116DRL. By type, the board carries 109 resistors, 81 capacitors, 37 connectors, 26 diodes, 23 ICs and 3 transistors.

It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.

From the project

Possibly the longest controller board to control the BoxTurtle AFC

The Longboi sits behind the full width of the BoxTurtle front panel and allows very short cable runs of equal length from each respooler and extruder. It's equipped with a beefy STM32H723 MCU and can be controlled with CAN or USB. If using CAN it's also daisy chainable for 8, 12 or even more lanes!

Please be aware that the BOM only contains a fuse holder, the fuses (2410/1808) have to be sourced separately. 4A is a good value to start, depending on the heater you may or may not use the value can be scaled up or down accordingly.

Longboi: common questions

What microcontroller does the Longboi use?

The Longboi is built around the STM32H723VGTx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Longboi PCB?

The Longboi measures 358 × 40 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Longboi?

285 components, from 57 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Longboi design files?

From the KungfuPancake/longboi repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Longboi design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which KungfuPancake chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Longboi 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.
