NoahESC: common questions

What microcontroller does the NoahESC use?

The NoahESC is built around the ATMEGA8A-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the NoahESC PCB?

The NoahESC measures 32 × 43.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the NoahESC?

48 components, from 16 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 NoahESC design files?

From the zosko/NoahESC 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 NoahESC design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with zosko. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the NoahESC 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.
