Assemble: common questions
What microcontroller does the Assemble use?
The Assemble is built around the XIAO-nRF52840-SMD, from the Nordic nRF family.
How big is the Assemble PCB?
The Assemble measures 269.2 × 100.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Assemble?
110 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Assemble design files?
From the derui/ThingnusBall repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Assemble design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which derui chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Assemble 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.
