Fault Latch 2: common questions

What microcontroller does the Fault Latch 2 use?

The Fault Latch 2 is built around the TEENSY4.0, from the NXP family.

How big is the Fault Latch 2 PCB?

The Fault Latch 2 measures 85.8 × 94.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.600198 mm thick.

How many components are on the Fault Latch 2?

103 components, from 52 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 Fault Latch 2 design files?

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

Can I use the Fault Latch 2 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Fault Latch 2 without the hardware?

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