Eps: common questions

What microcontroller does the Eps use?

The Eps is built around the STM32L496ZGTx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Eps PCB?

The Eps measures 80 × 80 mm, has 6 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Eps?

357 components, from 104 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 Eps design files?

From the OSUSat/cubesat 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 Eps design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which OSUSat chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Eps 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.
