ArduinoMegaServoShield: common questions

What microcontroller does the ArduinoMegaServoShield use?

The ArduinoMegaServoShield is built around the Arduino_Mega2560_Shield, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the ArduinoMegaServoShield PCB?

The ArduinoMegaServoShield measures 101.6 × 53.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ArduinoMegaServoShield?

38 components, from 4 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the ArduinoMegaServoShield design files?

From the michaelshiloh/resourcesForClasses repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the ArduinoMegaServoShield design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its AGPL-3.0 license, which michaelshiloh chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the ArduinoMegaServoShield 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.
