MONster64: common questions
What microcontroller does the MONster64 use?
The MONster64 is built around the STM32H753VIT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the MONster64 PCB?
The MONster64 measures 57.9 × 67.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MONster64?
58 components, from 32 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the MONster64 design files?
From the schenkmi/Cartridges repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the MONster64 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which schenkmi chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the MONster64 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.
