HELEN RDP Environmental Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the HELEN RDP Environmental Board use?

The HELEN RDP Environmental Board is built around the ATxmega32A4U-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the HELEN RDP Environmental Board?

The HELEN RDP Environmental Board measures 71.1 × 49.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the HELEN RDP Environmental Board?

36 components, from 24 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the HELEN RDP Environmental Board design files?

From the pbbp0904/HELEN repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the HELEN RDP Environmental Board design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which pbbp0904 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the HELEN RDP Environmental Board 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.
