PHYLAX: common questions
What microcontroller does the PHYLAX use?
The PHYLAX is built around the STM32F205RET6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the PHYLAX PCB?
The PHYLAX measures 60.5 × 95 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the PHYLAX?
43 components, from 29 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 PHYLAX design files?
From the ta007403/PHYLAX 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 PHYLAX design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with ta007403. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the PHYLAX 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.
