IRIS-868: common questions
What microcontroller does the IRIS-868 use?
The IRIS-868 is built around the STM32F303RET6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the IRIS-868 PCB?
The IRIS-868 measures 74.2 × 32 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the IRIS-868?
37 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the IRIS-868 design files?
From the StringLess80/IRIS-868 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the IRIS-868 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with StringLess80. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the IRIS-868 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.
