BeerBoard is a beer-shaped microcontroller breakout board based on the STM32F030C6T6. Schematic can be found here. Originally designed as a trophy for a beer quiz, its primary feature is blinking LEDs, adding a fun, interactive element to the prize. The project also served as an opportunity to experiment with JLCPCB's multicolor silkscreen options.
This board consists of 4 layers, providing a robust platform for various applications beyond its original purpose. It also includes breakout pins for I2C, SPI, and USART, offering versatile connectivity options for external devices and peripherals. Below are images showing the assebled board, different silkscreen options and 3D renderings of the BeerBoard.
The board is soldered by me using a Pinecil V2 by PINE64 and MHP50 by MiniWare.
Features
- Beer-shaped PCB design
- STM32F030C6T6 microcontroller at its core
- Blinking LEDs for visual effects
- 4-layer PCB
- Available in both multicolor and regular silkscreen versions

Questions
How big is the BeerBoard PCB?
It measures 45.6 × 94.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BeerBoard use?
62 parts, built around the 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 BeerBoard KiCad files?
From the potpurri/BeerBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BeerBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic BeerBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BeerBoard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
