Barobord: common questions
What microcontroller does the Barobord use?
The Barobord is built around the ATMEGA32U4-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Barobord PCB?
The Barobord measures 243.9 × 136.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Barobord?
157 components, from 21 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 Barobord design files?
From the sadekbaroudi/barobord repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Barobord design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with sadekbaroudi. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Barobord 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.
