STM32C011J4M6 with IMU ICM 42605

Article under development. Some sections are not complete.

✔️ Introduction

The goal with this project is to get familiar with the STM32C011J4M6 and the IMU 42605. This design can be used as a reference for projects that require an IMU on a small footprint PCB.

With that, the article jumps right away to the PCB design phase.

✔️ Assemble Stage

The boards were manufactured and assembled by PCBWay. As always a wonderful job.

One of the aspects I appreciate most about PCBWay's assembly service is the consistent communication throughout the entire process, ensuring everything proceeds smoothly. For instance, after submitting the component list, PCBWay promptly confirmed receipt of all the requested components. If any files are missing, they notify me via email and respond quickly. During the assembly, they verify that all components are correctly soldered. Finally, once the board is ready for shipment, I receive a notification that it is on its way.

Assembling a board can be a time-consuming process, but the professional behavior and prompt communication from PCBWay instill confidence in their assembly service, making it a reliable choice for future projects with tight deadlines.

The JST connector was soldered separately after receiving the board by hand. It was a design choice since I was not able to find a part on time before sending the files for production.
