About the RCLight PCB

RCLight is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by Ehryk, published on GitHub under the BSD-3-Clause license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 14.7 × 16.2 mm, with 26 components from 16 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the AP63201QWU-7, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the AP63203QWU-7. By type, the board carries 7 resistors, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 transistors, 1 connector and 1 switch.

From the project

Code

This is my github pages repo, viewable at ehryk.github.io. It also has some setup files that I sync between various computers, most notably git and bash aliases.

These are the settings I sync between various computers. Update Config.bat for windows, update-config.sh for linux.

Custom Rainmeter skins for GPU and CPU temps, etc.

RCLight: common questions

What microcontroller does the RCLight use?

The RCLight is built around the AP63201QWU-7, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the RCLight PCB?

The RCLight measures 14.7 × 16.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RCLight?

26 components, from 16 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 RCLight design files?

From the Ehryk/ehryk.github.com repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RCLight design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its BSD-3-Clause license, which Ehryk chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the RCLight 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.
