Aa input controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Aa input controller use?

The Aa input controller is built around the STM32F103_Bluepill, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Aa input controller PCB?

The Aa input controller measures 95.4 × 54 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Aa input controller?

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

Where can I download the Aa input controller design files?

From the jlunder/amanita-arcade repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Aa input controller design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Aa input controller without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
