RecurBOY: common questions
What microcontroller does the RecurBOY use?
The RecurBOY is built around the A-195, from the Raspberry Pi family.
How big is the RecurBOY PCB?
The RecurBOY measures 100 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the RecurBOY?
33 components, from 13 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 RecurBOY design files?
From the cyberboy666/recurBOY 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 RecurBOY design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which cyberboy666 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the RecurBOY without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
