Squid60: common questions
What microcontroller does the Squid60 use?
The Squid60 is built around the ATmega32U4-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Squid60 PCB?
The Squid60 measures 269.9 × 87.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Squid60?
143 components, from 23 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Squid60 design files?
From the Alasofia/Squid60 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Squid60 design in my own project?
It is published under CC-BY-NC-4.0, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the Squid60 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.
