RF Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the RF Board use?

The RF Board is built around the MSP430FR2355TPT, from the TI MSP430/CC family.

How big is the RF Board?

The RF Board measures 90 × 90 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6062 mm thick.

How many components are on the RF Board?

124 components, from 58 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RF Board design files?

From the jbrown3859/EE175-SeniorDesign repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RF Board design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jbrown3859. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the RF Board without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug TI MSP430/CC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
