Beam Break Adapter: common questions
What microcontroller does the Beam Break Adapter use?
The Beam Break Adapter is built around the ITS41K0SMENHUMA1, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Beam Break Adapter PCB?
The Beam Break Adapter measures 55.9 × 27.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Beam Break Adapter?
36 components, from 25 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 Beam Break Adapter design files?
From the RealtimeRoboticsGroup/electrical 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 Beam Break Adapter design in my own project?
It is published under SHL-2.1, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the Beam Break Adapter without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
