About the Proto ads bee mcu board

Proto ads bee mcu board is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by PantsForBirds, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 55 × 58 mm, with 20 components from 14 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the SC0915, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the MCP6541. By type, the board carries 7 resistors, 5 connectors, 4 capacitors, 2 ICs and 1 transistor.

It belongs with the rf & radio and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

Open Source Embedded ADS-B Receiver

ADSBee is a family of open-source, dual-band ADS-B receivers from Pants for Birds LLC. Every ADSBee decodes 1090 MHz Mode S / ADS-B and 978 MHz UAT transmissions onboard — no SDR dongle, FPGA, or host computer required — maintains an aircraft dictionary, and streams tracked aircraft over UART (and, on the 1090 family, WiFi / Ethernet) in a wide range of output protocols. This repository holds the firmware, hardware design files, datasheets, and host software for the whole family.

Proto ads bee mcu board: common questions

What microcontroller does the Proto ads bee mcu board use?

The Proto ads bee mcu board is built around the SC0915, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Proto ads bee mcu board?

The Proto ads bee mcu board measures 55 × 58 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Proto ads bee mcu board?

20 components, from 14 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Proto ads bee mcu board design files?

From the PantsForBirds/adsbee repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Proto ads bee mcu board design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Proto ads bee mcu board without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
