About the Module base

Module base is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by PurkkaKoodari, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 100 × 100 mm, with 29 components from 14 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the WAVGAT_CAN, HT1632C-52LQFP and HT16K33. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 6 transistors, 5 connectors, 3 ICs, 2 diodes and 2 capacitors.

From the project

Fully playable hardware implementation of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. Mirror of https://gitlab.com/PurkkaKoodari/ktane-hw

This project is a hardware reimplementation of the game [Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes][ktane]. The game runs fully on the physical device and is controlled using a web interface over Wi-Fi. The project will be documented in this repository – expect the links below to be broken for the near future.

The hardware is built around a Raspberry Pi Zero W, which runs the main controller software, attached to a backplane that provides power, connectivity and audio. The game's modules are built as independent devices, usually based on an Arduino Nano, which connect to the backplane using…

Module base: common questions

What microcontroller does the Module base use?

The Module base is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Module base?

The Module base measures 100 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Module base?

29 components, from 14 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Module base design files?

From the PurkkaKoodari/ktane-hw repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Module base design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which PurkkaKoodari chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Module base 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.
