Camera crane: common questions

What microcontroller does the Camera crane use?

The Camera crane is built around the Arduino_Mega_Header, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Camera crane PCB?

The Camera crane measures 209 × 105 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Camera crane?

30 components, from 10 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Camera crane design files?

From the Miceuz/camera-crane repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Camera crane design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Camera crane 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.
