Slimevr dongle: common questions

What microcontroller does the Slimevr dongle use?

The Slimevr dongle is built around the nRF52820-QDxx, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Slimevr dongle PCB?

The Slimevr dongle measures 36.3 × 15.2 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Slimevr dongle?

26 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Slimevr dongle design files?

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

Can I use the Slimevr dongle design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Slimevr dongle without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
