Diymetro: common questions
What microcontroller does the Diymetro use?
The Diymetro is built around the ATmega328P-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Diymetro PCB?
The Diymetro measures 162.8 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Diymetro?
115 components, from 26 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Diymetro design files?
From the tomarus/diymetro repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Diymetro design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with tomarus. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Diymetro 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.
