The KiCad project lives in the pavlovicdjordje35/Light-Follower repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

Light-Follower: common questions

What microcontroller does the Light-Follower use?

The Light-Follower is built around the DSPIC30F4013-20E/P, from the PIC family.

How big is the Light-Follower PCB?

The Light-Follower measures 125.4 × 80.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Light-Follower?

45 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Light-Follower design files?

From the pavlovicdjordje35/Light-Follower repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Light-Follower design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with pavlovicdjordje35. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Light-Follower without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
