Plane8: common questions

What microcontroller does the Plane8 use?

The Plane8 is built around the ARDUINO_MICRO, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Plane8 PCB?

The Plane8 measures 273 × 30 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Plane8?

47 components, from 17 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 Plane8 design files?

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

Can I use the Plane8 design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-1.2 license, which greyltc chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Plane8 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.
