Gimble Goblin: common questions

What microcontroller does the Gimble Goblin use?

The Gimble Goblin is built around the ATmega328P-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Gimble Goblin PCB?

The Gimble Goblin measures 44.5 × 36.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Gimble Goblin?

28 components, from 18 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Gimble Goblin design files?

From the MST-Robotics/TITAN-Electrical repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Gimble Goblin design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Gimble Goblin 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.
