RocketPCR: common questions

What microcontroller does the RocketPCR use?

The RocketPCR is built around the SAMD21G18B-A changed from SAML21, from the Microchip SAM family.

How big is the RocketPCR PCB?

The RocketPCR measures 105 × 33 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RocketPCR?

45 components, from 24 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RocketPCR design files?

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

Can I use the RocketPCR 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 RocketPCR without the hardware?

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