LoRA board: common questions
What microcontroller does the LoRA board use?
The LoRA board is built around the BQ79616PAPRQ1, from the STM32 family.
How big is the LoRA board?
The LoRA board measures 61.2 × 38.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the LoRA board?
52 components, from 47 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 LoRA board design files?
From the SCFormulaElectric/USC-Electrical-Systems 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 LoRA board design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with SCFormulaElectric. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the LoRA board 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.
