NDriveShield: common questions

What microcontroller does the NDriveShield use?

The NDriveShield is built around the ARDUINO_SHIELD, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the NDriveShield PCB?

The NDriveShield measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the NDriveShield?

22 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the NDriveShield design files?

From the freetronics/NDriveShield repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the NDriveShield design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the NDriveShield 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.
