BM42: common questions
What microcontroller does the BM42 use?
The BM42 is built around the ATMEGA32U2-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the BM42 PCB?
The BM42 measures 228 × 78 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the BM42?
93 components, from 21 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 BM42 design files?
From the str-dst/BM42 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 BM42 design in my own project?
It is published under CC-BY-NC-4.0, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the BM42 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.
