About the Flightcontroller PCB

Flightcontroller is an open source STM32 PCB design by manisonik, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 30.5 × 26.7 mm, with 17 components from 15 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32F103CBTx, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the COPERNICUS II GPS MODULE, BMP180, MIC5219-3.3BM5 and MPU-9250. By type, the board carries 5 ICs, 5 capacitors, 3 resistors, 2 transistors and 2 crystals.

Flightcontroller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Flightcontroller use?

The Flightcontroller is built around the STM32F103CBTx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Flightcontroller PCB?

The Flightcontroller measures 30.5 × 26.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Flightcontroller?

17 components, from 15 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 Flightcontroller design files?

From the manisonik/embedded_projects repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Flightcontroller design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Flightcontroller 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.
