ReleaseBoard: common questions

What microcontroller does the ReleaseBoard use?

The ReleaseBoard is built around the ATTINY85-20PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the ReleaseBoard PCB?

The ReleaseBoard measures 80 × 30 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ReleaseBoard?

43 components, from 23 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the ReleaseBoard design files?

From the AvalonROV/Electrical_2018 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the ReleaseBoard design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with AvalonROV. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the ReleaseBoard 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.
