Brewce cooker hardware: common questions

What microcontroller does the Brewce cooker hardware use?

The Brewce cooker hardware is built around the nRF52840, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Brewce cooker hardware PCB?

The Brewce cooker hardware measures 44.3 × 26.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Brewce cooker hardware?

60 components, from 34 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Brewce cooker hardware design files?

From the ChristianHirsch/brewce-cooker-hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Brewce cooker hardware design in my own project?

It is published under SHL-2.1, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.

Can I test firmware for the Brewce cooker hardware without the hardware?

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