Reach nrf51822-hardware: common questions

What microcontroller does the Reach nrf51822-hardware use?

The Reach nrf51822-hardware is built around the nRF51822-QF, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Reach nrf51822-hardware PCB?

The Reach nrf51822-hardware measures 41.9 × 27.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Reach nrf51822-hardware?

62 components, from 41 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 Reach nrf51822-hardware design files?

From the tessel/reach-nrf51822-hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Reach nrf51822-hardware design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with tessel. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Reach nrf51822-hardware without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
