Base shield: common questions

What microcontroller does the Base shield use?

The Base shield is built around the Arduino_1pin, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Base shield?

The Base shield measures 99.1 × 53.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Base shield?

18 components, from 14 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 Base shield design files?

From the railroad-editor/arduino-shields repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Base shield design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Base shield 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.
