RPi-Ham: common questions

What microcontroller does the RPi-Ham use?

The RPi-Ham is built around the Raspberry_Pi_2_3, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the RPi-Ham PCB?

The RPi-Ham measures 65 × 56.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RPi-Ham?

41 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RPi-Ham design files?

From the bitbyt3r/RPi-Ham repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RPi-Ham design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with bitbyt3r. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the RPi-Ham without the hardware?

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