Where can I find a Val** reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the Val**. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the Val** use?
Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1).
How big is a typical board using the Val**?
The median is 49.2 × 76 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the Val**?
By GitHub stars, VCF by odeliy, with 37 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the Val** before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
