The KiCad project lives in the picaoid/gardener repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

Gardener: common questions

What microcontroller does the Gardener use?

The Gardener is built around the Arduino Nano, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Gardener PCB?

The Gardener measures 96 × 74 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.59 mm thick.

How many components are on the Gardener?

33 components, from 25 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Gardener design files?

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

Can I use the Gardener design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Gardener 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.
