Antenna db: common questions

What microcontroller does the Antenna db use?

The Antenna db is built around the C81787, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Antenna db PCB?

The Antenna db measures 94 × 94 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 4.69 mm thick.

How many components are on the Antenna db?

59 components, from 35 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 Antenna db design files?

From the queens-satellite-team/pcbs 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 Antenna db design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Antenna db 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.
