Pixy: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pixy use?

The Pixy is built around the Arduino Nano V3, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How many components are on the Pixy?

5 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Pixy design files?

From the Broosky/Pixy repository on GitHub, which has the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Pixy design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Pixy 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.
