Overview

FIAControl is an open-source printed circuit board by CatoLynx, from the CatoLynx/LCD-FIA repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 150 × 72 mm with 110 parts on 189 nets, routed with 1,254 tracks and 149 vias.

It is built around the STM32F413VGT6, 74HCT541D and SPAN02A-03, with the LM258ADT, MCP4726A0-E/CH and MCP4726A1-E/CH among its other parts. Its parts include 34 capacitors, 32 resistors, 14 ICs, 13 diodes and 13 connectors. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

Questions

How big is the FIAControl PCB?

It measures 150 × 72 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FIAControl use?

110 parts, built around the STM32F413VGT6, 74HCT541D, SPAN02A-03 and LM258ADT. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the FIAControl KiCad files?

From the CatoLynx/LCD-FIA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/FIAControl/FIAControl.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FIAControl design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CatoLynx before reusing the design.
