Overview

TinyBEC is an open-source printed circuit board by wangyeee, from the wangyeee/OpenHardware repository on GitHub, published under the BSD-3-Clause licence. It is a 2-layer board of 23 × 18 mm with 18 parts on 11 nets, routed with 30 tracks and 11 vias.

It is built around the MP1470-MS, AO3407A and BAT20J. Its parts include 6 resistors, 3 capacitors, 2 diodes, 2 connectors and 1 IC. It belongs with the robots and motor control and radio and wireless boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

SimpleFC_G/README.md

SimpleFC_G

The SimpleFCv2 with integrated GPS receiver. Together with its 10 DoF IMU, it has full navigation capability.

WARNING: The PCB design has not been fabricated, Use with caution!

Change List (compare to SimpleFCv2)

  • A UBlox ZOE-M8Q GPS receiver is added while external GPS receiver can still be used by changing solder jumpers.
  • The onboard DC-DC converter is now MP1470, which supports 2~3s Li-Po.

Software

SimpleFC was originally designed to run modified version of AutoQuad, the source can be found in my fork of AutoQuad. In additional, port for PaparazziUAV is in progress. It will make SimpleFC support both fixwing and rotorcraft.

STM32F4 resource usage

The following table summarizes usage of the MCU, details such as pinout and DMA allocation can be found in the STM32CubeMX design file SimpleFCv2.ioc in the SimpleFCv2 folder.

Questions

How big is the TinyBEC PCB?

It measures 23 × 18 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TinyBEC use?

18 parts, built around the MP1470-MS, AO3407A and BAT20J. 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 TinyBEC KiCad files?

From the wangyeee/OpenHardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TinyBEC/TinyBEC.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TinyBEC design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-3-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
