Camera controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Camera controller use?

The Camera controller is built around the STM32H523RCTX, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Camera controller PCB?

The Camera controller measures 40 × 40 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Camera controller?

65 components, from 36 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 Camera controller design files?

From the someonelse20/Shadowfax 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 Camera controller design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with someonelse20. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Camera controller 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.
