What boards using the Z are built for

Z: common questions

Where can I find a Z reference design?

Each of the 1 boards on this page is a real design using the Z. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the Z use?

Most are built on STM32 (1).

How big is a typical board using the Z?

The median is 293 × 120 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the Z?

By GitHub stars, Wakame keyboard by Cacaomeme, with 0 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the Z before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
