About the Yaafr PCB
Yaafr is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by atoomnetmarc, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 233.7 × 81.3 mm, with 56 components from 25 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ATmega328P-PU in socket, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the L7805. By type, the board carries 27 resistors, 7 crystals, 6 connectors, 5 switches, 4 capacitors and 3 transistors.
It belongs with the usb & debug tools designs in this gallery.
From the project
This is Yet Another AVR Fusebit Rescuer. It is able to restore fuses in bricked AVR microcontrollers using high voltage programming.
This is Yaafr, Yet Another AVR Fusebit Rescuer. It is large because of all the ZIF-sockets and does not even feature any mounting holes. It also has two IDC headers for expanding to programming clips or other adapters to rescue non-dip AVR microcontrollers.
It is be able to restore wrongly fused or locked AVR microcontrollers that support high voltage parallel (HVPP) programming or high voltage serial programming (HVSP).

Yaafr: common questions
What microcontroller does the Yaafr use?
The Yaafr is built around the ATmega328P-PU in socket, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Yaafr PCB?
The Yaafr measures 233.7 × 81.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Yaafr?
56 components, from 25 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Yaafr design files?
From the atoomnetmarc/yaafr repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Yaafr design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which atoomnetmarc chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Yaafr 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.
