Pwrcmder: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pwrcmder use?

The Pwrcmder is built around the Raspberry_Pi_2_3, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Pwrcmder PCB?

The Pwrcmder measures 138.5 × 84 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Pwrcmder?

112 components, from 22 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Pwrcmder design files?

From the reaktor23/pwrcmder repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Pwrcmder design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which reaktor23 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Pwrcmder without the hardware?

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