Zeus: common questions
What microcontroller does the Zeus use?
The Zeus is built around the AT90CAN32-16AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Zeus PCB?
The Zeus measures 80 × 45 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Zeus?
81 components, from 42 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Zeus 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 Zeus 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 Zeus 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.
