GeminiArduinoMez: common questions

What microcontroller does the GeminiArduinoMez use?

The GeminiArduinoMez is built around the ARDUINO_NANO_RP2040_CONNECT, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the GeminiArduinoMez PCB?

The GeminiArduinoMez measures 62.6 × 81.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the GeminiArduinoMez?

9 components, from 8 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the GeminiArduinoMez design files?

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

Can I use the GeminiArduinoMez design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the GeminiArduinoMez 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.
