Nyx: common questions

What microcontroller does the Nyx use?

The Nyx is built around the ATtiny202-SS, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Nyx PCB?

The Nyx measures 65 × 50 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Nyx?

63 components, from 39 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Nyx design files?

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

Can I use the Nyx design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Nyx 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.
