N64 UltraCIC II Breakout: common questions
What microcontroller does the N64 UltraCIC II Breakout use?
The N64 UltraCIC II Breakout is built around the ATtiny45-20SU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the N64 UltraCIC II Breakout?
The N64 UltraCIC II Breakout measures 12.7 × 16.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the N64 UltraCIC II Breakout?
4 components, from 4 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the N64 UltraCIC II Breakout design files?
From the nelgau/hicart repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the N64 UltraCIC II Breakout design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with nelgau. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the N64 UltraCIC II Breakout 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.
