Pulsegen: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pulsegen use?

The Pulsegen is built around the ATmega328-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Pulsegen PCB?

The Pulsegen measures 160 × 61 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Pulsegen?

34 components, from 26 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 Pulsegen design files?

From the adarwoo/KiCad 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 Pulsegen design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Pulsegen 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.
