Tenet: common questions

What microcontroller does the Tenet use?

The Tenet is built around the ATMEGA32U4-MU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Tenet PCB?

The Tenet measures 276.3 × 118.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Tenet?

101 components, from 52 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 Tenet design files?

From the spilliams/tenet 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 Tenet design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Unlicense license, which spilliams chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Tenet 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.
