Copilot: common questions

What microcontroller does the Copilot use?

The Copilot is built around the SC0918, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Copilot PCB?

The Copilot measures 80 × 80 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Copilot?

1 components, from 1 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 Copilot design files?

From the martinwoodward/copilot-pcb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Copilot design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Copilot without the hardware?

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