PiLeven: common questions

What microcontroller does the PiLeven use?

The PiLeven is built around the ATMEGA328P-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the PiLeven PCB?

The PiLeven measures 84.5 × 56 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the PiLeven?

67 components, from 43 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the PiLeven design files?

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

Can I use the PiLeven design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its TAPR-OHL-1.0 license, which freetronics chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the PiLeven 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.
