Ghost bot: common questions

What microcontroller does the Ghost bot use?

The Ghost bot is built around the A000005, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Ghost bot PCB?

The Ghost bot measures 111 × 60 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Ghost bot?

37 components, from 19 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 Ghost bot design files?

From the ChrisAlphabet/ghost-bot repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Ghost bot design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Ghost bot 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.
