MBO: common questions
What microcontroller does the MBO use?
The MBO is built around the STM32F405RGTX, from the STM32 family.
How big is the MBO PCB?
The MBO measures 390 × 78.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MBO?
45 components, from 17 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 MBO design files?
From the shanteacontrols/OpenDeck 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 MBO design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which shanteacontrols chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the MBO 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.
