Questions
How big is the STM32 FlightController PCB?
It measures 42 × 44.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the STM32 FlightController use?
56 parts, built around the BMP390L, SN74LVC1T45DBV, AMS1117-3.3 and ICM-20948. 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 FlightController KiCad files?
From the JLjoestar23/STM32_FlightController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is STM32_FlightController_Rev2/STM32_FlightController.kicad_pcb and its schematic STM32_FlightController_Rev2/STM32_FlightController.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the STM32 FlightController design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask JLjoestar23 before reusing the design.
