BIGMAX: common questions

What microcontroller does the BIGMAX use?

The BIGMAX is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the BIGMAX PCB?

The BIGMAX measures 190.5 × 94 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the BIGMAX?

31 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the BIGMAX design files?

From the ideometre/BigMax repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the BIGMAX design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Unlicense license, which ideometre chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the BIGMAX 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.
