Exp control board: common questions

What microcontroller does the Exp control board use?

The Exp control board is built around the ARDUINO_NANO_V3.X, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Exp control board?

The Exp control board measures 120.2 × 224.7 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 4.69 mm thick.

How many components are on the Exp control board?

262 components, from 52 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 Exp control board design files?

From the Coen-Lab/exp-control-board 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 Exp control board design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its AGPL-3.0 license, which Coen-Lab chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Exp control board 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.
