POSpad: common questions

What microcontroller does the POSpad use?

The POSpad is built around the ATmega32U2-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the POSpad PCB?

The POSpad measures 37.1 × 40.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the POSpad?

26 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the POSpad design files?

From the str-dst/POSpad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the POSpad 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 POSpad 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.
