BloodHound: common questions

What microcontroller does the BloodHound use?

The BloodHound is built around the PIC16F883, from the PIC family.

How big is the BloodHound PCB?

The BloodHound measures 93 × 107 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the BloodHound?

66 components, from 52 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 BloodHound design files?

From the rc-earnest/BloodHound 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 BloodHound design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the BloodHound without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
