Butterflynet: common questions
What microcontroller does the Butterflynet use?
The Butterflynet is built around the ATtiny1616-M, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Butterflynet PCB?
The Butterflynet measures 30 × 430 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 3 mm thick.
How many components are on the Butterflynet?
270 components, from 9 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 Butterflynet design files?
From the unit117/butterflynet repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Butterflynet design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which unit117 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Butterflynet 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.
