TakenTracker: common questions

What microcontroller does the TakenTracker use?

The TakenTracker is built around the XIAO-nRF52840-SMD, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the TakenTracker PCB?

The TakenTracker measures 30 × 28 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the TakenTracker?

18 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the TakenTracker design files?

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

Can I use the TakenTracker design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which issaimaru chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the TakenTracker 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.
