About the ArduinoShield PCB

ArduinoShield is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by BioroboticsLab, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 55 × 53 mm, with 12 components from 5 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_UNO_R3, from the AVR/Arduino family. By type, the board carries 9 connectors, 1 module, 1 transistor and 1 capacitor.

From the project

Hard- and software for the 2016-style IR flash system of the beesbook project. Original code/hardware design done by hmoenck. Unfortunately, I don't have the original git history available (just a folder on the recording PC..)

# bb_irflash - Infrared LED flashing software and hardware

bb_irflash is a software and hardware layout package. It contains the circuit and board layout for creating infrared flashing devices.

The software is C code written and tested for the Arduino Board Duemilanove. However, it should be easily adjusted to fit any arduino available on the market.

The hardware is designed to be triggered via signal current and powered with 12V. The design contains no protection mechanism whatsoever. So exchanging the resistors and/or LED's enables faster/slower flashing or constant lighting.

ArduinoShield: common questions

What microcontroller does the ArduinoShield use?

The ArduinoShield is built around the Arduino_UNO_R3, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the ArduinoShield PCB?

The ArduinoShield measures 55 × 53 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ArduinoShield?

12 components, from 5 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 ArduinoShield design files?

From the BioroboticsLab/bb_irflash repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the ArduinoShield design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which BioroboticsLab chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the ArduinoShield 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.
