Rf60: common questions

What microcontroller does the Rf60 use?

The Rf60 is built around the ATXMEGA32A4U-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Rf60 PCB?

The Rf60 measures 285 × 94.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Rf60?

181 components, from 26 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 Rf60 design files?

From the emilytrau/rf60 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Rf60 design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which emilytrau chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Rf60 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.
