Sensory Adaptation Robot: common questions

What microcontroller does the Sensory Adaptation Robot use?

The Sensory Adaptation Robot is built around the SAMD21G18A_ArduinoSimple, from the Microchip SAM family.

How big is the Sensory Adaptation Robot PCB?

The Sensory Adaptation Robot measures 100 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Sensory Adaptation Robot?

43 components, from 30 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Sensory Adaptation Robot design files?

From the lachlanchen/HybridImager repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Sensory Adaptation Robot design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Sensory Adaptation Robot without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Microchip SAM firmware against it before you order a PCB.
