CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3: common questions

What microcontroller does the CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3 use?

The CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3 is built around the Teensy4.0-teensy-ARTS-Lab, from the NXP family.

How big is the CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3 PCB?

The CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3 measures 81.3 × 33 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3?

4 components, from 4 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 CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3 design files?

From the ARTS-Laboratory/Sensor-Package-Access-Hub repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3 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 CAPSTONE sensor unitV 3 without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug NXP firmware against it before you order a PCB.
