BabyHandsKeyboard: common questions
What microcontroller does the BabyHandsKeyboard use?
The BabyHandsKeyboard is built around the ProMicro, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the BabyHandsKeyboard PCB?
The BabyHandsKeyboard measures 186.1 × 136.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the BabyHandsKeyboard?
56 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the BabyHandsKeyboard design files?
From the FionaCutler/BabyHandsKeyboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the BabyHandsKeyboard design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with FionaCutler. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the BabyHandsKeyboard 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.
