1 open source board using the heatsink
Real designs built with the heatsink, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.
The heatsink in open source designs
The gallery holds 1 open source boards using the heatsink from 1 GitHub repository; a typical one measures about 100 × 100 mm and carries around 412 components.
100% are two-layer designs, the rest use four layers or more, and 100% carry an open source license.
The most starred is Stmbl 4.0 by rene-dev.
Microcontrollers on boards using the heatsink
What boards using the heatsink are built for
heatsink: common questions
Where can I find a heatsink reference design?
Each of the 1 boards on this page is a real design using the heatsink. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the heatsink use?
Most are built on STM32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the heatsink?
The median is 100 × 100 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the heatsink?
By GitHub stars, Stmbl 4.0 by rene-dev, with 979 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the heatsink before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
