Commonsense hw: common questions

What microcontroller does the Commonsense hw use?

The Commonsense hw is built around the NRF52810-QFAA-R7, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Commonsense hw PCB?

The Commonsense hw measures 35 × 24 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Commonsense hw?

32 components, from 23 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Commonsense hw design files?

From the antsouchlos/commonsense-hw repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Commonsense hw design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which antsouchlos chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Commonsense hw without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
