The KiCad project lives in the HKUST-Red-Bird-Racing-EVRT/GEN6_ELEC repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

VCU V3.3: common questions

What microcontroller does the VCU V3.3 use?

The VCU V3.3 is built around the BQ76940DBT, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the VCU V3.3 PCB?

The VCU V3.3 measures 114 × 95 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the VCU V3.3?

145 components, from 73 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 VCU V3.3 design files?

From the HKUST-Red-Bird-Racing-EVRT/GEN6_ELEC 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 VCU V3.3 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with HKUST-Red-Bird-Racing-EVRT. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the VCU V3.3 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.
