STCS2A driver rev1: common questions

What microcontroller does the STCS2A driver rev1 use?

The STCS2A driver rev1 is built around the MDBT42Q, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the STCS2A driver rev1 PCB?

The STCS2A driver rev1 measures 65 × 61 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the STCS2A driver rev1?

34 components, from 19 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 STCS2A driver 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 STCS2A driver 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 STCS2A driver 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.
