KiCad: common questions
What microcontroller does the KiCad use?
The KiCad is built around the stm32f103c8t6-module-china, from the STM32 family.
How big is the KiCad PCB?
The KiCad measures 100 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the KiCad?
55 components, from 21 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the KiCad design files?
From the nerdpol/soeren repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the KiCad design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with nerdpol. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the KiCad 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.
