Smart penetrometer: common questions
What microcontroller does the Smart penetrometer use?
The Smart penetrometer is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Smart penetrometer PCB?
The Smart penetrometer measures 33 × 74.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Smart penetrometer?
19 components, from 18 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 Smart penetrometer design files?
From the ARTS-Laboratory/Smart-Penetrometer-with-Edge-Computing-and-Intelligent-Embedded-Systems repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Smart penetrometer 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 Smart penetrometer 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.
