Prime Mover: common questions

What microcontroller does the Prime Mover use?

The Prime Mover is built around the Raspberry_Pi_2_3, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Prime Mover PCB?

The Prime Mover measures 80.1 × 56 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Prime Mover?

37 components, from 24 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Prime Mover design files?

From the dannyandreev/TheLittleRascal-Electrical repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Prime Mover design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which dannyandreev chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Prime Mover 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.
