Eliza: common questions
What microcontroller does the Eliza use?
The Eliza is built around the ATMEGA32U2-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Eliza PCB?
The Eliza measures 259 × 88.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Eliza?
79 components, from 16 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 Eliza design files?
From the str-dst/Eliza 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 Eliza design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with str-dst. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Eliza 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.
