PIC18: common questions

What microcontroller does the PIC18 use?

The PIC18 is built around the PIC18F4620, from the PIC family.

How big is the PIC18 PCB?

The PIC18 measures 76.5 × 75.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the PIC18?

70 components, from 33 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 PIC18 design files?

From the pixelatedknight27/PIC18 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 PIC18 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with pixelatedknight27. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the PIC18 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.
