on board: - DC-DC for 2,3,..S battery operation. To operate on a 1S battery, it is necessary to replace the components to turn off the DC-DC. - RF SI4463 433MHz radio transceiver. when changing the frequency, you can to change components and programmatically set a different frequency. - imu mpu6050 - 4pcs 3-pin connector for servo motor/ESC (IMP 1-2 ms) for 4pcs brushed…

ESC atmega8: common questions

What microcontroller does the ESC atmega8 use?

The ESC atmega8 is built around the ATmega8A-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the ESC atmega8 PCB?

The ESC atmega8 measures 23 × 23 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ESC atmega8?

51 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the ESC atmega8 design files?

From the fademike/fly_drone repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the ESC atmega8 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the ESC atmega8 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.
