ControlCarrier: common questions

What microcontroller does the ControlCarrier use?

The ControlCarrier is built around the Teensy3.6, from the NXP family.

How big is the ControlCarrier PCB?

The ControlCarrier measures 102.3 × 38.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ControlCarrier?

8 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the ControlCarrier design files?

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

Can I use the ControlCarrier design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which ManiacalLabs chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the ControlCarrier 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.
