Pld test: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pld test use?

The Pld test is built around the Arduino_Nano_Every, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Pld test PCB?

The Pld test measures 81.5 × 76.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Pld test?

33 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Pld test design files?

From the gcoonrod/retro-stack repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Pld test design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which gcoonrod chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Pld test 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.
