0xCB-micro: common questions
What microcontroller does the 0xCB-micro use?
The 0xCB-micro is built around the ATMEGA32U4, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the 0xCB-micro PCB?
The 0xCB-micro measures 25 × 29.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the 0xCB-micro?
29 components, from 18 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the 0xCB-micro design files?
From the 0xCB-dev/0xCB-micro repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the 0xCB-micro design in my own project?
It is published under Custom license, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the 0xCB-micro without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
