Dmx panel controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the Dmx panel controller use?
The Dmx panel controller is built around the ATmega328P-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Dmx panel controller PCB?
The Dmx panel controller measures 80 × 80 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Dmx panel controller?
99 components, from 38 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Dmx panel controller design files?
From the akornsys-rdi/dmx-panel-controller repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Dmx panel controller design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, which akornsys-rdi chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Dmx panel controller 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.
