DSKY driver: common questions
What microcontroller does the DSKY driver use?
The DSKY driver is built around the ATSAMD21E18A-MUT, from the Microchip SAM family.
How big is the DSKY driver PCB?
The DSKY driver measures 43 × 92.3 mm and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the DSKY driver?
44 components, from 26 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 DSKY driver design files?
From the benkrasnow/DSKY_EL_replica repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the DSKY driver design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which benkrasnow chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the DSKY driver 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.
