BreakOutBoard: common questions
What microcontroller does the BreakOutBoard use?
The BreakOutBoard is built around the NRF52840-QFAA-R7, from the Nordic nRF family.
How big is the BreakOutBoard PCB?
The BreakOutBoard measures 30 × 26.8 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.0192 mm thick.
How many components are on the BreakOutBoard?
28 components, from 21 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the BreakOutBoard design files?
From the cpeniche/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 BreakOutBoard design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with cpeniche. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the BreakOutBoard 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.
