About the Stabilisation Pen PCB

Stabilisation Pen is an open source Nordic nRF PCB design by adambickerdike, published on GitHub. It is a board, with 25 components from 16 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the NRF5340-QKAA-R7, from the Nordic nRF family. By type, the board carries 14 capacitors, 5 resistors, 2 crystals, 1 IC, 1 connector and 1 antenna.

It belongs with the power & battery designs in this gallery.

Evidence status: PROPOSED DESIGN. Nothing in this directory has been built or measured.

Evidence status: PROPOSED DESIGN. Nothing in this directory has been built or measured.

Every part carrying a VERIFY or SELECT note in bomrevA.csv` must be checked against its datasheet or reference design before layout. The note gives the specific item to check.

Regenerate everything. UUIDs are deterministic (uuid5 of the sheet and item order), so regenerating an unchanged design reproduces the schematic files and a real change shows as a small diff:

Stabilisation Pen: common questions

What microcontroller does the Stabilisation Pen use?

The Stabilisation Pen is built around the NRF5340-QKAA-R7, from the Nordic nRF family.

How many components are on the Stabilisation Pen?

25 components, from 16 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 Stabilisation Pen design files?

From the adambickerdike/Stabilisation_Pen repository on GitHub, which has the schematic, a netlist and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Stabilisation Pen design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with adambickerdike. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Stabilisation Pen without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
