STM32 Based Development Board

Note : - This is still a work in progress.

bugboard is a development board with the STM32G431CBT6 as its core.

This development board is intended to be used in a keyboard PCB.

Features

  • STM32G431CBT6
  • Built-in USB-C Port
  • Small size design

What is a development board?

A development board is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with an MCU along with other components such as a USB port, crystals etc. to make prototyping and designing circuits easier. Since it already has certain components, it can be used directly in many circuits to save cost as well as time. Development boards can vary in size, components, MCU type, amount of GPIOs etc.

bugboard, has the STM32G431CBT6 as its MCU and was made to be used in a PCB as well as a personal project to learn how to make bigger circuits for me.

Questions

How big is the Bugboard PCB?

It measures 52.3 × 20.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bugboard use?

28 parts, built around the BAT54C and PRTR5V0U2X. 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 Bugboard KiCad files?

From the NeerajR18/bugboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/bugboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/bugboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bugboard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NeerajR18 before reusing the design.
