TrackerGPS: common questions
What microcontroller does the TrackerGPS use?
The TrackerGPS is built around the PIC32MM0256GPM028-I_ML, from the PIC family.
How big is the TrackerGPS PCB?
The TrackerGPS measures 60.8 × 33.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the TrackerGPS?
63 components, from 36 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the TrackerGPS design files?
From the alassaneg/trackerGPS repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the TrackerGPS design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with alassaneg. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the TrackerGPS without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
