Dragon joke: common questions

What microcontroller does the Dragon joke use?

The Dragon joke is built around the BMD-300, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Dragon joke PCB?

The Dragon joke measures 126 × 100.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Dragon joke?

83 components, from 40 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 Dragon joke design files?

From the DC801/DC26PartyBadge repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Dragon joke design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with DC801. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Dragon joke 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.
