About the Can game controller PCB

Can game controller is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by uvmaero, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 55 × 36.5 mm, with 30 components from 20 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATmega32U4-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the MCP2551-I-SN and MCP2515-xSO. By type, the board carries 9 capacitors, 6 connectors, 6 resistors, 3 ICs, 2 crystals and 2 diodes.

From the project

UVM AERO boards.

This repo was originally @willemcvu 's personal AERO boards repo. From 2019-20 onward it will be used by all of AERO to store boards designed for the AERO cars.

Some are finished and have been produced, tested, etc. Others have not. Up to you to figure out if a particular board might be useful for your needs.

If you do produce a board, let me know! I'd love to know what you're using it for.

Can game controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Can game controller use?

The Can game controller is built around the ATmega32U4-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Can game controller PCB?

The Can game controller measures 55 × 36.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Can game controller?

30 components, from 20 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 Can game controller design files?

From the uvmaero/AERO-Boards-KiCad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Can game controller design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, which uvmaero chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Can game controller 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.
