RPM-counter: common questions
What microcontroller does the RPM-counter use?
The RPM-counter is built around the ATmega328P-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the RPM-counter PCB?
The RPM-counter measures 68.9 × 23 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the RPM-counter?
62 components, from 35 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 RPM-counter design files?
From the midasgossye/RPM-counter repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the RPM-counter design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with midasgossye. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the RPM-counter 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.
