Controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the Controller use?
The Controller is built around the Arduino_Nano_Header, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Controller PCB?
The Controller measures 130 × 60 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Controller?
33 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Controller design files?
From the Miceuz/StepperOverDMX repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Controller design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which Miceuz chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Controller 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.
