LEDMetaMatrix: common questions
What microcontroller does the LEDMetaMatrix use?
The LEDMetaMatrix is built around the Arduino_Mega2560_R3_Shield, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the LEDMetaMatrix PCB?
The LEDMetaMatrix measures 160 × 160 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the LEDMetaMatrix?
52 components, from 6 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the LEDMetaMatrix design files?
From the PanoramixDeDruide/LEDMetaMatrix repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the LEDMetaMatrix design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its Unlicense license, which PanoramixDeDruide chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the LEDMetaMatrix 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.
