NI-watch: common questions
What microcontroller does the NI-watch use?
The NI-watch is built around the STM32F091RCTX, from the STM32 family.
How big is the NI-watch PCB?
The NI-watch measures 100 × 100 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the NI-watch?
105 components, from 43 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 NI-watch design files?
From the kwojcik22/NI-watch 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 NI-watch design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with kwojcik22. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the NI-watch 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.
