2 open source boards using the proto

Real designs built with the proto, 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.

proto: common questions

Where can I find a proto reference design?

Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the proto. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

What parts are used alongside the proto?

The Arduino_Nano_v3.x, multi_plexer and v_reg appear in the most repositories here.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the proto use?

Most are built on AVR/Arduino (2).

How big is a typical board using the proto?

The median is 99.1 × 99.1 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the proto?

By GitHub stars, Power board by ksurct, with 2 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the proto 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.
