TheLoveBoard: common questions

What microcontroller does the TheLoveBoard use?

The TheLoveBoard is built around the STM32F40X_LQFP64, from the STM32 family.

How big is the TheLoveBoard PCB?

The TheLoveBoard measures 60 × 51.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the TheLoveBoard?

76 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the TheLoveBoard design files?

From the svenssonjoel/TheLoveBoard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the TheLoveBoard design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the TheLoveBoard 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.
