About the Newshield PCB

Newshield is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by love481, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 81.9 × 104.8 mm, with 27 components from 15 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Mega2560_Shield, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the LM7809_TO220 and Buck. By type, the board carries 16 connectors, 3 ICs, 3 diodes, 2 capacitors, 2 resistors and 1 fuse.

Newshield: common questions

What microcontroller does the Newshield use?

The Newshield is built around the Arduino_Mega2560_Shield, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Newshield PCB?

The Newshield measures 81.9 × 104.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Newshield?

27 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Newshield design files?

From the love481/Circuit-Designs repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Newshield design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which love481 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Newshield without the hardware?

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