GPS-Tracker: common questions
What microcontroller does the GPS-Tracker use?
The GPS-Tracker is built around the STM32F030C8Tx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the GPS-Tracker PCB?
The GPS-Tracker measures 35 × 53 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the GPS-Tracker?
53 components, from 39 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 GPS-Tracker design files?
From the mohamedboubaker/GPS-Tracker 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 GPS-Tracker design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with mohamedboubaker. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the GPS-Tracker 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.
