Questions

How big is the STM32-USBb PCB?

It measures 44 × 33 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the STM32-USBb use?

32 parts, built around the STM32F103C8T6 and AMS1117-3.3. 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 STM32-USBb KiCad files?

From the diegomrno/STM32-USBb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is STM32-USBb/STM32-USBb.kicad_pcb and its schematic STM32-USBb/STM32-USBb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the STM32-USBb design in my own project?

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