TinyStep: common questions
What microcontroller does the TinyStep use?
The TinyStep is built around the ATTINY204-SS, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the TinyStep PCB?
The TinyStep measures 26 × 54 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the TinyStep?
19 components, from 15 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 TinyStep design files?
From the sebastiangrus/TinyStep 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 TinyStep design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with sebastiangrus. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the TinyStep 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.
