The KiCad project lives in the Leo-Nicolle/open-pod repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

Open pod: common questions

What microcontroller does the Open pod use?

The Open pod is built around the STM32F446RCT6TR, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Open pod PCB?

The Open pod measures 65 × 90 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Open pod?

20 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Open pod design files?

From the Leo-Nicolle/open-pod repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Open pod design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Open pod 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.
