Lynx-PS2: common questions
What microcontroller does the Lynx-PS2 use?
The Lynx-PS2 is built around the ATMEGA328, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Lynx-PS2 PCB?
The Lynx-PS2 measures 75.9 × 76.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Lynx-PS2?
23 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Lynx-PS2 design files?
From the Board-Folk/Camputers-Lynx repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Lynx-PS2 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Board-Folk. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Lynx-PS2 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.
