Curve tracer hardware: common questions

What microcontroller does the Curve tracer hardware use?

The Curve tracer hardware is built around the pic24f08km202, from the PIC family.

How big is the Curve tracer hardware PCB?

The Curve tracer hardware measures 60 × 37 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Curve tracer hardware?

60 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Curve tracer hardware design files?

From the slightlynybbled/curve_tracer_hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Curve tracer hardware design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Curve tracer hardware without the hardware?

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