MECB 6800 CPU: common questions
What microcontroller does the MECB 6800 CPU use?
The MECB 6800 CPU is built around the PIC12F1822-xMC, from the PIC family.
How big is the MECB 6800 CPU PCB?
The MECB 6800 CPU measures 99.8 × 99.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MECB 6800 CPU?
14 components, from 10 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the MECB 6800 CPU design files?
From the epaell/MECB repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the MECB 6800 CPU design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with epaell. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the MECB 6800 CPU 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.
