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.
