About the Intelligence factory hardware assessment PCB

Intelligence factory hardware assessment is an open source STM32 PCB design by shreyashswarnkar210205, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 42.1 × 33.4 mm, with 26 components from 15 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the STM32H503CBT6, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the USBLC6-2P6, BMI270 and AP2112K-3.3TRG1. By type, the board carries 12 capacitors, 5 resistors, 4 ICs, 3 connectors, 1 fuse and 1 diode.

It belongs with the sensors designs in this gallery.

From the project

Submission for the Intelligence Factory Hardware Assessment featuring a USB-C STM32H503-based IMU acquisition platform with a remote BMI270 fingertip sensor PCB, along with a complete analog front-end design for a piezoelectric contact microphone, including LTspice verification and engineering documentation.

This repository contains the PCB design for Part 1 of the Intelligence Factory Hardware Assessment.

The objective was to design a compact embedded system capable of acquiring inertial data from a remote fingertip-mounted IMU over SPI while communicating with a host PC through USB-C. The design is split into two PCBs:

- Board A – Main controller board containing the MCU, USB interface, power supply, debug interface and sensor connector. - Board B – Compact fingertip sensor board containing the IMU and JST-SH connector.

Intelligence factory hardware assessment: common questions

What microcontroller does the Intelligence factory hardware assessment use?

The Intelligence factory hardware assessment is built around the STM32H503CBT6, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Intelligence factory hardware assessment PCB?

The Intelligence factory hardware assessment measures 42.1 × 33.4 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Intelligence factory hardware assessment?

26 components, from 15 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 Intelligence factory hardware assessment design files?

From the shreyashswarnkar210205/intelligence-factory-hardware-assessment 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 Intelligence factory hardware assessment design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with shreyashswarnkar210205. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Intelligence factory hardware assessment 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.
