XPS:Channel:Controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the XPS:Channel:Controller use?
The XPS:Channel:Controller is built around the ATTINY44A-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the XPS:Channel:Controller PCB?
The XPS:Channel:Controller measures 40.6 × 30.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the XPS:Channel:Controller?
20 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the XPS:Channel:Controller design files?
From the yu2924/XPS repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the XPS:Channel:Controller design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC0-1.0 license, which yu2924 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the XPS:Channel: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.
