Stepper: common questions
What microcontroller does the Stepper use?
The Stepper is built around the ATtiny404-SS, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Stepper PCB?
The Stepper measures 31 × 49 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Stepper?
28 components, from 14 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 Stepper design files?
From the hisashin/qNinja 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 Stepper design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which hisashin chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Stepper 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.
