About the Flypi PCB

Flypi is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by amchagas, published on GitHub under the GPL-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 57.2 × 146.6 mm, with 49 components from 26 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the LM2596S-5. By type, the board carries 14 resistors, 10 connectors, 9 capacitors, 4 transistors, 4 inductors and 3 ICs.

From the project

This is the repository for the flypi project

Hi! Thanks for dropping by. This project started during one of the summer courses organized by Trend in Africa. It developed to the current state due to the efforts of many people along the way. In special Tom Baden, Lucia Prieto, and Edwin Cruz. A paper describing the system was published in Plos Biology.

Version 1.0 was released with the paper and can be found here.

Flypi: common questions

What microcontroller does the Flypi use?

The Flypi is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Flypi PCB?

The Flypi measures 57.2 × 146.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Flypi?

49 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 Flypi design files?

From the amchagas/Flypi repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Flypi design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-2.0 license, which amchagas chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Flypi 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.
