About the Pi HAT V4 Simple

Pi HAT V4 Simple is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by danielwilczak101, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 78.1 × 71.3 mm, with 8 components from 8 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ARDUINO_NANO, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the LM2596S. By type, the board carries 5 connectors, 1 IC and 1 switch.

It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

Originally part of the NASA Asteroid flyer program has been repurposed by the EPPL to allow anyone interested in controls to go online and connect with a real working device and test their own control algorithms on a live device that is connected to the global internet.

Originally part of the NASA Asteroid flyer program has been repurposed by the EPPL to allow anyone interested in controls to go online and connect with a real working device and test their own control algorithms on a live device that is connected to the global internet. The spacecraft has been refitted with new and improved wiring, updated computers and a website that allows for members to connect and upload code to.

Pi HAT V4 Simple: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pi HAT V4 Simple use?

The Pi HAT V4 Simple is built around the ARDUINO_NANO, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Pi HAT V4 Simple?

The Pi HAT V4 Simple measures 78.1 × 71.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Pi HAT V4 Simple?

8 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Pi HAT V4 Simple design files?

From the danielwilczak101/EasyControls repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Pi HAT V4 Simple design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with danielwilczak101. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Pi HAT V4 Simple 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.
