Solar nRF.kicad pro: common questions
What microcontroller does the Solar nRF.kicad pro use?
The Solar nRF.kicad pro is built around the MDBT42TV, from the Nordic nRF family.
How big is the Solar nRF.kicad pro PCB?
The Solar nRF.kicad pro measures 35.9 × 35.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Solar nRF.kicad pro?
53 components, from 31 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 Solar nRF.kicad pro design files?
From the PocketConcepts/Solar_nRF 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 Solar nRF.kicad pro design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with PocketConcepts. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Solar nRF.kicad pro without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
