DCC-Booster: common questions
What microcontroller does the DCC-Booster use?
The DCC-Booster is built around the PIC16F1847-IP, from the PIC family.
How big is the DCC-Booster PCB?
The DCC-Booster measures 102.9 × 99.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the DCC-Booster?
118 components, from 48 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the DCC-Booster design files?
From the DavidMFlynn/DCC-Booster repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the DCC-Booster design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which DavidMFlynn chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the DCC-Booster without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
