From the project

The BOM, schematic PDF, and gerber files are all accessible in the 'Outputs/' folder. Other project files are not included because they add clutter and can be generated from the project itself in KiCad. Thanks.

NRF52832 design files

The KiCad project lives in the jmos1/nRF52832 repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

NRF52832: common questions

What microcontroller does the NRF52832 use?

The NRF52832 is built around the NRF52832-QFAA-R, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the NRF52832 PCB?

The NRF52832 measures 29.2 × 65.3 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the NRF52832?

43 components, from 29 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 NRF52832 design files?

From the jmos1/nRF52832 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the NRF52832 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jmos1. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the NRF52832 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.
