001 dot flipper: common questions

What microcontroller does the 001 dot flipper use?

The 001 dot flipper is built around the PIC16F15355-I-MV, from the PIC family.

How big is the 001 dot flipper PCB?

The 001 dot flipper measures 71 × 10 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the 001 dot flipper?

61 components, from 10 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the 001 dot flipper design files?

From the pierre-muth/fast-flipdot repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the 001 dot flipper design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which pierre-muth chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the 001 dot flipper 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.
