PHOBOS Control: common questions
What microcontroller does the PHOBOS Control use?
The PHOBOS Control is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the PHOBOS Control PCB?
The PHOBOS Control measures 34.7 × 49.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the PHOBOS Control?
74 components, from 38 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the PHOBOS Control design files?
From the K-Eckert15/ARES repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the PHOBOS Control design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with K-Eckert15. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the PHOBOS Control without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
