4 open source boards using the PIR
Real designs built with the PIR, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the PIR
What boards using the PIR are built for
PIR: common questions
Where can I find a PIR reference design?
Each of the 4 boards on this page is a real design using the PIR. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the PIR use?
Most are built on Nordic nRF (2).
How big is a typical board using the PIR?
The median is 62.3 × 46 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the PIR?
By GitHub stars, SensePi rev5 main by Appiko, with 2 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the PIR before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
