Black Pill: common questions
What microcontroller does the Black Pill use?
The Black Pill is built around the STM32F103CBT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Black Pill PCB?
The Black Pill measures 52.1 × 52.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.2 mm thick.
How many components are on the Black Pill?
9 components, from 7 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 Black Pill design files?
From the lbthomsen/greenpill repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Black Pill design in my own project?
It is published under Custom license, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the Black Pill 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.
