Questions
How big is the STM32F4 GIMBAL BOARD PCB?
It measures 84.4 × 80.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.66 mm thick.
What parts does the STM32F4 GIMBAL BOARD use?
150 parts, built around the MAX3232IPW, LM358, TPS5430DDA and 74HC14D. 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 STM32F4 GIMBAL BOARD KiCad files?
From the TIEN3915/GIMBAL repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is STM32F4_GIMBAL_BOARD/STM32F4_GIMBAL_BOARD.kicad_pcb and its schematic STM32F4_GIMBAL_BOARD/Block Diagram.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the STM32F4 GIMBAL BOARD design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask TIEN3915 before reusing the design.
