Power board v2: common questions
What microcontroller does the Power board v2 use?
The Power board v2 is built around the Arduino_Mega2560_Shield, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Power board v2?
The Power board v2 measures 30.7 × 53.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Power board v2?
14 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Power board v2 design files?
From the ARTS-Laboratory/IoT-Water-Level-Sensor repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Power board v2 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, which ARTS-Laboratory chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Power board v2 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.
