About the Kicad evaltor PCB

Kicad evaltor is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by attahiruj, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a board, with 15 components from 12 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATmega328P-M, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the MPU-6050. By type, the board carries 7 capacitors, 3 resistors, 2 ICs, 1 crystal, 1 connector and 1 switch.

From the project

A Python library for validating KiCad designs programmatically. Describe the properties a design is supposed to have — reference designators, values, connectivity, footprint assignment, ERC results, and whether the sheet is readable — and run them as a test suite.

Works against KiCad 10 and later. It does not need the KiCad IPC API server, which KiCad 10 removed.

Kicad evaltor: common questions

What microcontroller does the Kicad evaltor use?

The Kicad evaltor is built around the ATmega328P-M, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How many components are on the Kicad evaltor?

15 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Kicad evaltor design files?

From the attahiruj/kicad-evaltor repository on GitHub, which has the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Kicad evaltor design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which attahiruj chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Kicad evaltor 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.
