Aether: common questions

What microcontroller does the Aether use?

The Aether is built around the nRF52833-QDAA-R, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Aether PCB?

The Aether measures 57.8 × 39.8 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 0.978 mm thick.

How many components are on the Aether?

81 components, from 49 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Aether design files?

From the Sinis16/AtlasCircuits repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Aether design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Sinis16. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Aether 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.
