RCShield-Mod: common questions

What microcontroller does the RCShield-Mod use?

The RCShield-Mod is built around the ARDUINO_SHIELD, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the RCShield-Mod PCB?

The RCShield-Mod measures 88.7 × 66.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RCShield-Mod?

14 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RCShield-Mod design files?

From the Maddimax/MadControl repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RCShield-Mod design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the RCShield-Mod 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.
