Openclack: common questions
What microcontroller does the Openclack use?
The Openclack is built around the TEENSYPP2, from the NXP family.
How big is the Openclack PCB?
The Openclack measures 345.7 × 134.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Openclack?
204 components, from 107 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Openclack design files?
From the jtryon/openclack repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Openclack design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jtryon. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Openclack without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug NXP firmware against it before you order a PCB.
