FC Hardware: common questions

What microcontroller does the FC Hardware use?

The FC Hardware is built around the STM32F401CCU6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the FC Hardware PCB?

The FC Hardware measures 57.2 × 57.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the FC Hardware?

81 components, from 34 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 FC Hardware design files?

From the SARP-ARES/FC_Hardware 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 FC Hardware design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which SARP-ARES chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the FC Hardware 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.
