Spaceduino: common questions

What microcontroller does the Spaceduino use?

The Spaceduino is built around the ATmega1284P-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Spaceduino PCB?

The Spaceduino measures 69 × 69 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Spaceduino?

81 components, from 41 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Spaceduino design files?

From the UWCubeSat/minimee-electronics repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Spaceduino design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which UWCubeSat chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Spaceduino 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.
