Vertex: common questions

What microcontroller does the Vertex use?

The Vertex is built around the ATMEGA32U2-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Vertex PCB?

The Vertex measures 247 × 78.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Vertex?

99 components, from 20 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 Vertex design files?

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

Can I use the Vertex 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 Vertex 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.
