From the project
The Zenith Development Board was developed to serve as a first project for the new members of the group.
Development board based on the STM32F103C8T6 developed to introduce the group members to circuits similar to those that can be used in the projects, including light, acceleration, rotation, pressure and temperature sensors, as well as actuators such as Mosfets, Relays and Leds.

Zenith-Development-Board: common questions
What microcontroller does the Zenith-Development-Board use?
The Zenith-Development-Board is built around the STM32F103C8T6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Zenith-Development-Board?
The Zenith-Development-Board measures 50 × 63 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Zenith-Development-Board?
67 components, from 38 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Zenith-Development-Board design files?
From the zenitheesc/Zenith-Development-Board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Zenith-Development-Board design in my own project?
