OpenLaserScanningMicroscope: common questions

What microcontroller does the OpenLaserScanningMicroscope use?

The OpenLaserScanningMicroscope is built around the ARDUINO_MICRO, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the OpenLaserScanningMicroscope PCB?

The OpenLaserScanningMicroscope measures 144 × 80 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the OpenLaserScanningMicroscope?

72 components, from 37 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 OpenLaserScanningMicroscope design files?

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

Can I use the OpenLaserScanningMicroscope design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which GaudiLabs chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the OpenLaserScanningMicroscope 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.
