Plain60-c: common questions
What microcontroller does the Plain60-c use?
The Plain60-c is built around the ATmega32U4, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Plain60-c PCB?
The Plain60-c measures 284.7 × 94.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Plain60-c?
175 components, from 32 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Plain60-c design files?
From the evyd13/plain60-c repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Plain60-c design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, which evyd13 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Plain60-c 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.
