Known bugs

  • BOOT0 is not connected
  • Reverse polarity protection diode should be swapped with MOSFET
  • Output caps could be larger to minimize peak current during PWM
  • Shutdown microcontroller with external MOSFET
    • Current power consumption when turned off was measured at ~16µF

Questions

What parts does the Ferris use?

23 parts, built around the STM32L031G6U6, TPS613221ADBV and CR2032. 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 Ferris KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Ferris design in my own project?

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