Alidade: common questions

What microcontroller does the Alidade use?

The Alidade is built around the NRF54L15-QFAA-R, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Alidade PCB?

The Alidade measures 277.2 × 107.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Alidade?

194 components, from 59 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Alidade design files?

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

Can I use the Alidade design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Alidade 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.
