BLDC Driver 4.6: common questions

What microcontroller does the BLDC Driver 4.6 use?

The BLDC Driver 4.6 is built around the STM32F40X_LQFP64, from the STM32 family.

How big is the BLDC Driver 4.6 PCB?

The BLDC Driver 4.6 measures 75.2 × 49.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the BLDC Driver 4.6?

112 components, from 35 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 BLDC Driver 4.6 design files?

From the UofSSpaceTeam/rover-hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the BLDC Driver 4.6 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the BLDC Driver 4.6 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.
