3ch pwm sao badge: common questions
What microcontroller does the 3ch pwm sao badge use?
The 3ch pwm sao badge is built around the ATTINY402-SS, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the 3ch pwm sao badge PCB?
The 3ch pwm sao badge measures 28 × 15.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the 3ch pwm sao badge?
18 components, from 10 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 3ch pwm sao badge design files?
From the 9a/3ch_pwm_sao_badge repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the 3ch pwm sao badge design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with 9a. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the 3ch pwm sao badge 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.
