Dynaboard button controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the Dynaboard button controller use?
The Dynaboard button controller is built around the STM32F103C8T6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Dynaboard button controller PCB?
The Dynaboard button controller measures 48.3 × 52.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Dynaboard button controller?
62 components, from 27 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 Dynaboard button controller design files?
From the manhoosbilli1/dynaboard-button-controller 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 Dynaboard button controller design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with manhoosbilli1. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Dynaboard button controller 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.
