In this repository I have provided my previous KICAD PCB Designs for: ### Arduino hat - this is a complete arduino hat, check the folder for files! it is among my first designs
- this is a simple power supply unit which accepts 12V, 1A and gives, 3V3 and 5V as output, it is among my first designs
- mini Pi Hat, one of my old PCB design projects !

MATRIX PROJECT: common questions
What microcontroller does the MATRIX PROJECT use?
The MATRIX PROJECT is built around the ATmega328PB-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the MATRIX PROJECT PCB?
The MATRIX PROJECT measures 128.8 × 81.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MATRIX PROJECT?
77 components, from 24 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 MATRIX PROJECT design files?
From the AronAyub/KICAD repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the MATRIX PROJECT design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with AronAyub. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the MATRIX PROJECT 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.
