Questions

How big is the Stm32 PCB?

It measures 97 × 69.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 2.5 mm thick.

What parts does the Stm32 use?

103 parts, built around the CD4050BD, ISO1050DUB, B0505S-1W and LM2576-5.0WU. 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 KiCad files?

From the eddyem/stm32samples repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is F0:F030,F042,F072/3steppersLB/kicad/stm32.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Stm32 design in my own project?

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