About the Arm interface board panel

Arm interface board panel is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by Roboy, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 189.6 × 31.8 mm, with 49 components from 22 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATMEGA328PB-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the INA180, BMI160, NTS0102 and MIC5504-3.3YM5. By type, the board carries 17 capacitors, 10 ICs, 9 resistors, 8 connectors, 2 switches and 2 diodes.

It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.

From the project

Board containing all the control units and power distribution for the servos in the arms.

Be careful and rearrange the connections before crimping if needed. Also make sure the cables exit the connector in an appropiate direction, to avoid loops.

This one enables and advanced bootloader and the extra functions in the PB series. For this you also need the latest AVR toolchain (version 1.6.206). Add:

After you do this you can install the Minicore and update the Arduino AVR boards to 1.6.207 (AVR toolchain). #### Flashing To flash the board you need to use an ISP programmer. The easiest way is to use an arduino as the programmer. You can do this by flashing any Arduino board with…

Arm interface board panel: common questions

What microcontroller does the Arm interface board panel use?

The Arm interface board panel is built around the ATMEGA328PB-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Arm interface board panel?

The Arm interface board panel measures 189.6 × 31.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Arm interface board panel?

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

Where can I download the Arm interface board panel design files?

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

Can I use the Arm interface board panel design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Arm interface board panel 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.
