TeleSTERN: common questions
What microcontroller does the TeleSTERN use?
The TeleSTERN is built around the STM32L162VDT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the TeleSTERN PCB?
The TeleSTERN measures 90 × 45 mm, has 6 copper layers and is 1.45402 mm thick.
How many components are on the TeleSTERN?
293 components, from 87 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the TeleSTERN design files?
From the shorlee/TeleSTERN repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the TeleSTERN design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which shorlee chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the TeleSTERN 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.
