SenseCam Adapter rev1: common questions

What microcontroller does the SenseCam Adapter rev1 use?

The SenseCam Adapter rev1 is built around the MDBT42Q, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the SenseCam Adapter rev1 PCB?

The SenseCam Adapter rev1 measures 90 × 46 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the SenseCam Adapter rev1?

36 components, from 29 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 SenseCam Adapter rev1 design files?

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

Can I use the SenseCam Adapter rev1 design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-1.2 license, which Appiko chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the SenseCam Adapter rev1 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.
