Serpente plug c: common questions

What microcontroller does the Serpente plug c use?

The Serpente plug c is built around the ATSAMD21E18A, from the Microchip SAM family.

How big is the Serpente plug c PCB?

The Serpente plug c measures 24.3 × 22 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Serpente plug c?

19 components, from 16 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 Serpente plug c design files?

From the arturo182/serpente_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 Serpente plug c design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-1.2 license, which arturo182 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Serpente plug c without the hardware?

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