From the project
Two-layer STM32F103C8T6 development board designed in KiCad, covering schematic capture, PCB layout, USB, SWD, UART, I2C, power regulation, DRC, BOM, and manufacturing files.
A custom two-layer development board built around the STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller using KiCad.
This project was completed as a hands-on PCB design exercise based on Phil's Lab's STM32 PCB tutorial, with the goal of learning and practicing the complete workflow from schematic capture to PCB layout and manufacturing-file generation.
The completed board integrates power regulation, clock circuitry, USB, programming/debugging interfaces, serial communication interfaces, analog power filtering, and a two-layer PCB layout with a dedicated ground plane.
