Bloxorz: common questions

What microcontroller does the Bloxorz use?

The Bloxorz is built around the C88419, from the PIC family.

How big is the Bloxorz PCB?

The Bloxorz measures 63.8 × 47.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Bloxorz?

24 components, from 18 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Bloxorz design files?

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

Can I use the Bloxorz design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which FrankBuss chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Bloxorz without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
