Hermes: common questions

What microcontroller does the Hermes use?

The Hermes is built around the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Hermes PCB?

The Hermes measures 73.5 × 40.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Hermes?

15 components, from 11 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 Hermes design files?

From the Awesome-XV/Hermes repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Hermes design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Hermes without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
