Dashbox: common questions

What microcontroller does the Dashbox use?

The Dashbox is built around the MODULE_DEV-16771, from the NXP family.

How big is the Dashbox PCB?

The Dashbox measures 84.5 × 85.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Dashbox?

27 components, from 22 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 Dashbox design files?

From the SCFormulaElectric/USC-Electrical-Systems repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Dashbox design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Dashbox without the hardware?

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