Capteur: common questions
What microcontroller does the Capteur use?
The Capteur is built around the PIC18F27Q84_ISS, from the PIC family.
How big is the Capteur PCB?
The Capteur measures 125 × 70 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Capteur?
39 components, from 26 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Capteur design files?
From the mbouyer/weatherstation repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Capteur design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its BSD-2-Clause license, which mbouyer chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Capteur without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
