Tail lights: common questions

What microcontroller does the Tail lights use?

The Tail lights is built around the ATMEGA328P-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Tail lights PCB?

The Tail lights measures 145 × 115 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Tail lights?

118 components, from 22 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 Tail lights design files?

From the chrskly/electric-mustang-wiring 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 Tail lights design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Tail lights 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.
