Arduino-Mini-Drone: common questions
What microcontroller does the Arduino-Mini-Drone use?
The Arduino-Mini-Drone is built around the ATMEGA328P-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Arduino-Mini-Drone PCB?
The Arduino-Mini-Drone measures 58.8 × 59.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Arduino-Mini-Drone?
76 components, from 48 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 Arduino-Mini-Drone design files?
From the gaurav23b/Arduino-Mini-Drone 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 Arduino-Mini-Drone design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with gaurav23b. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Arduino-Mini-Drone 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.
