TelescopeController: common questions

What microcontroller does the TelescopeController use?

The TelescopeController is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the TelescopeController PCB?

The TelescopeController measures 139 × 74 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the TelescopeController?

77 components, from 18 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the TelescopeController design files?

From the pauladam316/observatory_pcbs repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the TelescopeController design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with pauladam316. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the TelescopeController 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.
