KinT Blackpill Edition

kinesis-3

This is a fork of Michael Stapelberg's KinT project with the following modifications:

  • Replaced Teensy with STM32F411 Blackpill controller (blackpill directory)
  • Reduced PCB size to 100 x 86 mm
  • Use Vial firmware. Source code is in my fork of Vial

v2022-08-05 of the PCB requires you to bridge the 3.3v pins with a wire. The diagram below shows you which pins.

wire bridge

The current version in the repo does not require this.

If you're using a battery that's larger than 500 mAh, short JP1 on the back of the Pillbug to enable "Charge Boost" (changes charge rate from 100mA to 500mA)
