Poc: common questions
What microcontroller does the Poc use?
The Poc is built around the ATmega32U4-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Poc PCB?
The Poc measures 100 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Poc?
63 components, from 27 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Poc design files?
From the nikital/keyboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Poc design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with nikital. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Poc 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.
