NRF 00: common questions
What microcontroller does the NRF 00 use?
The NRF 00 is built around the nRF52832-QFAB-T, from the Nordic nRF family.
How big is the NRF 00 PCB?
The NRF 00 measures 67 × 54 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 0.8 mm thick.
How many components are on the NRF 00?
34 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the NRF 00 design files?
From the probe-rs/hive repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the NRF 00 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with probe-rs. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the NRF 00 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.
