About the NanoProgrammer PCB

NanoProgrammer is an open source PCB design by LithosphereRocketry, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 29.5 × 14.2 mm, with 23 components from 11 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the DS2480B+ and HT42B534. By type, the board carries 5 test points, 5 capacitors, 5 resistors, 3 connectors, 3 diodes and 2 ICs.

It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

A very small dual-deployment altimeter for low- and mid-power rockets.

Firmware for NanoDeploy is located in the firmware directory. Most day-to-day operations are handled by that folder's Makefile.

The setup process for TI's MSP430 toolchain is pretty miserable on modern Linux. See firmware/install-notes.md for details.

Run make run to upload the code to an attached MSP430 development board.

Run make gdb to upload the code to the attached dev board and start a GDB server session. From a separate terminal, then run msp430-gdb. (The included .gdbinit file should take care of all the necessary setup.)
