ErgonomicGamepad: common questions
What microcontroller does the ErgonomicGamepad use?
The ErgonomicGamepad is built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the ErgonomicGamepad PCB?
The ErgonomicGamepad measures 250.2 × 157.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the ErgonomicGamepad?
77 components, from 23 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 ErgonomicGamepad design files?
From the vemcg/ErgonomicGamepad 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 ErgonomicGamepad design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which vemcg chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the ErgonomicGamepad 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.
