About the Kicad workshop PCB

Kicad workshop is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by spacekookie, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 50 × 50 mm, with 37 components from 12 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATMEGA328-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the ws2812b. By type, the board carries 18 capacitors, 13 ICs, 2 connectors, 2 switches, 1 crystal and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

A full day KiCAD workshop including instructions, documentation, and plenty of example projects

(Name picked by Github random name generator 😉)

This is the complete version of the example project. You can get this manufactured, provided you find switches and a clock that will fit the specifications of the board. This does not include a BOM (Bill of Material).

Kicad workshop: common questions

What microcontroller does the Kicad workshop use?

The Kicad workshop is built around the ATMEGA328-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Kicad workshop PCB?

The Kicad workshop measures 50 × 50 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Kicad workshop?

37 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Kicad workshop design files?

From the spacekookie/kicad-workshop repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Kicad workshop design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Kicad workshop 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.
