Invaders: common questions

What microcontroller does the Invaders use?

The Invaders is built around the ATmega328P-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Invaders PCB?

The Invaders measures 127 × 88.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Invaders?

53 components, from 40 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Invaders design files?

From the anyahelene/invaders repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Invaders design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with anyahelene. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Invaders 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.
