Artsyfartsy: common questions

What microcontroller does the Artsyfartsy use?

The Artsyfartsy is built around the SeeeduinoXIAO, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Artsyfartsy PCB?

The Artsyfartsy measures 103.4 × 58.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Artsyfartsy?

18 components, from 7 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 Artsyfartsy design files?

From the GroooveBob/artsyfartsy 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 Artsyfartsy design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which GroooveBob chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Artsyfartsy without the hardware?

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