2 open source boards using the RN42-I/RM
Real designs built with the RN42-I/RM, 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 RN42-I/RM
What boards using the RN42-I/RM are built for
RN42-I/RM: common questions
Where can I find a RN42-I/RM reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the RN42-I/RM. 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 RN42-I/RM use?
Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1).
How big is a typical board using the RN42-I/RM?
The median is 35.8 × 67.1 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the RN42-I/RM?
By GitHub stars, Muscleboardv0 by gskelly, with 21 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the RN42-I/RM 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.
