Kicad lin ctrl: common questions

What microcontroller does the Kicad lin ctrl use?

The Kicad lin ctrl is built around the Arduino_Nano_Every, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Kicad lin ctrl PCB?

The Kicad lin ctrl measures 183 × 110 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Kicad lin ctrl?

94 components, from 38 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Kicad lin ctrl design files?

From the s59mz/kicad-lin_ctrl repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Kicad lin ctrl design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which s59mz chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Kicad lin ctrl 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.
