Hbridge controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Hbridge controller use?

The Hbridge controller is built around the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Hbridge controller PCB?

The Hbridge controller measures 50 × 75 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Hbridge controller?

50 components, from 32 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Hbridge controller design files?

From the pypilot/pypilot_schematics repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Hbridge controller design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Hbridge controller 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.
