About the Strandjungs ReactionGame PCB

Strandjungs ReactionGame is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by JochiSt, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 48.6 × 80.4 mm, with 61 components from 17 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Nano_v2.x, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the L7805. By type, the board carries 21 resistors, 12 connectors, 10 transistors, 10 diodes, 4 capacitors and 2 switches.

From the project

Reaction Game - one or two wooden rods fall down and you have to catch them

The idea of this game is that you press a button and after some time (random) one or two (selectable) wooden rods are dropped. The player has to catch these falling rods.

There are four different modes implemented. The selection of the modes is done via the binary encoded input from the switch (marked with Drop 1/2). Switch 1 is the LSB and two the MSB.

Strandjungs ReactionGame: common questions

What microcontroller does the Strandjungs ReactionGame use?

The Strandjungs ReactionGame is built around the Arduino_Nano_v2.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Strandjungs ReactionGame PCB?

The Strandjungs ReactionGame measures 48.6 × 80.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Strandjungs ReactionGame?

61 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Strandjungs ReactionGame design files?

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

Can I use the Strandjungs ReactionGame design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which JochiSt chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Strandjungs ReactionGame 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.
