Kp ledsuit: common questions

What microcontroller does the Kp ledsuit use?

The Kp ledsuit is built around the STM32F103C8Tx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Kp ledsuit PCB?

The Kp ledsuit measures 50 × 50 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Kp ledsuit?

70 components, from 36 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Kp ledsuit design files?

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

Can I use the Kp ledsuit design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Kp ledsuit 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.
