Icarus: common questions

What microcontroller does the Icarus use?

The Icarus is built around the STM32F405RGTx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Icarus PCB?

The Icarus measures 37.1 × 43.3 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Icarus?

43 components, from 29 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Icarus design files?

From the nnarain/icarus repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Icarus design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Icarus 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.
