CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL: common questions

What microcontroller does the CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL use?

The CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL is built around the ATmega328P PDIP, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL PCB?

The CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL measures 116.8 × 84.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL?

48 components, from 25 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL design files?

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

Can I use the CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which UAlberta-EcoCar chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the CapstoneControllerBoardFINAL 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.
