About the Aek PCB

Aek is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by MythosMann, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a board, with 267 components from 17 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the AT90USB1286-MU, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the PRTR5V0U2X. By type, the board carries 137 switches, 113 diodes, 7 capacitors, 4 resistors, 2 ICs and 2 connectors.

Aek: common questions

What microcontroller does the Aek use?

The Aek is built around the AT90USB1286-MU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How many components are on the Aek?

267 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Aek design files?

From the MythosMann/aek-pcb repository on GitHub, which has the schematic and a netlist; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Aek design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which MythosMann chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Aek 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.
