About the Celestine PCB

Celestine is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by ai03-2725, published on GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 343.7 × 116.7 mm, with 199 components from 25 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATMEGA32U4-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the PRTR5V0U2X. By type, the board carries 87 diodes, 7 capacitors, 6 resistors, 2 ICs, 1 crystal and 1 fuse.

From the project

Custom TKL PCB for NMB Hi-Tek 725 (Space Invader) switches

This project aims to revive the use of NMB/Hi-Tek 725 series switches, commonly known as "Space Invaders".

Massive credits go to Engicoder, mcmaxmcmc, and many others for helping me along the way with measurements of existing boards and switches.

Celestine: common questions

What microcontroller does the Celestine use?

The Celestine is built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Celestine PCB?

The Celestine measures 343.7 × 116.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Celestine?

199 components, from 25 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 Celestine design files?

From the ai03-2725/Celestine repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Celestine design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its AGPL-3.0 license, which ai03-2725 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Celestine 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.
