5gModem: common questions

What microcontroller does the 5gModem use?

The 5gModem is built around the ComputeModule5-CM5, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the 5gModem PCB?

The 5gModem measures 69.4 × 57.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the 5gModem?

6 components, from 5 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the 5gModem design files?

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

Can I use the 5gModem design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the 5gModem 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.
