Breakable Board: common questions
What microcontroller does the Breakable Board use?
The Breakable Board is built around the PIC16F1508-ISS, from the PIC family.
How big is the Breakable Board?
The Breakable Board measures 76.2 × 99.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1 mm thick.
How many components are on the Breakable Board?
45 components, from 35 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Breakable Board design files?
From the ElektroNeo/Modular-Development-Board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Breakable Board design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with ElektroNeo. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Breakable Board 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.
