MCore Mixtape: common questions
What microcontroller does the MCore Mixtape use?
The MCore Mixtape is built around the ATTINY85-20PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the MCore Mixtape PCB?
The MCore Mixtape measures 35.5 × 23.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MCore Mixtape?
23 components, from 18 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the MCore Mixtape design files?
From the 8BitMixtape/mCore_Mixtape repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the MCore Mixtape design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with 8BitMixtape. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the MCore Mixtape 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.
