RC-Car: common questions

What microcontroller does the RC-Car use?

The RC-Car is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the RC-Car PCB?

The RC-Car measures 84 × 125.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RC-Car?

5 components, from 4 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RC-Car design files?

From the FABallemand/RC-Car repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RC-Car design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the RC-Car 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.
