Ir train detector: common questions

What microcontroller does the Ir train detector use?

The Ir train detector is built around the MSP430G2553IPW28, from the TI MSP430/CC family.

How big is the Ir train detector PCB?

The Ir train detector measures 160 × 35 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Ir train detector?

111 components, from 37 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Ir train detector design files?

From the MarkusFischer/ir-train-detector repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Ir train detector design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which MarkusFischer chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Ir train detector without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug TI MSP430/CC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
