Ecad coffeecaller: common questions
What microcontroller does the Ecad coffeecaller use?
The Ecad coffeecaller is built around the NRF52840-QIAA-R, from the Nordic nRF family.
How big is the Ecad coffeecaller PCB?
The Ecad coffeecaller measures 65.6 × 54 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Ecad coffeecaller?
78 components, from 34 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Ecad coffeecaller design files?
From the tiacsys/ecad-coffeecaller repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Ecad coffeecaller design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license, which tiacsys chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Ecad coffeecaller 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.
