Dron: common questions
What microcontroller does the Dron use?
The Dron is built around the Arduino Nano BLE v2, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Dron PCB?
The Dron measures 84.2 × 84.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Dron?
7 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Dron design files?
From the zuiko21/minimOS repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Dron design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which zuiko21 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Dron 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.
