CareLite-GPIB: common questions

What microcontroller does the CareLite-GPIB use?

The CareLite-GPIB is built around the STM32F411CEU6TR, from the STM32 family.

How big is the CareLite-GPIB PCB?

The CareLite-GPIB measures 33 × 57.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the CareLite-GPIB?

34 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the CareLite-GPIB design files?

From the OpenhimerLab/CareLite-GPIB repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the CareLite-GPIB design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which OpenhimerLab chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the CareLite-GPIB 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.
