JayK: common questions
What microcontroller does the JayK use?
The JayK is built around the AT90USB1286-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the JayK PCB?
The JayK measures 419.1 × 101.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the JayK?
207 components, from 23 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the JayK design files?
From the josuegaleas/JayK repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the JayK design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which josuegaleas chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the JayK 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.
