About the Cuttlefish PCB

Cuttlefish is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by Ezhkin-Kot, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 87.5 × 63 mm, with 11 components from 10 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

From the project

Self-driving car

RC-машинка с автопилотом: самоходная платформа на Arduino Nano + одноплатный компьютер Orange Pi 3B, который по видеопотоку с камеры принимает решения о движении.

Проект разрабатывается как курсовая работа (создание и сравнение различных реализаций автопилота), а затем будет тиражирован в 10 экземпляров для хакатона по разработке автопилота.

1. Собрать надёжную, дешёвую, функциональную и повторяемую платформу (механика + электроника). 2. Реализовать собственный автопилот, управляющий машинкой по видео с камеры. 3. Сравнить несколько подходов к автопилоту (см. раздел 8). 4. Подготовить…

Cuttlefish: common questions

What microcontroller does the Cuttlefish use?

The Cuttlefish is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Cuttlefish PCB?

The Cuttlefish measures 87.5 × 63 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Cuttlefish?

11 components, from 10 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 Cuttlefish design files?

From the Ezhkin-Kot/cuttlefish 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 Cuttlefish design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Ezhkin-Kot. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Cuttlefish 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.
