Overview

4809Rc is an open-source printed circuit board by flitebits, from the flitebits/rclib repository on GitHub, published under the Apache-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 24 × 27 mm with 47 parts on 50 nets, routed with 348 tracks and 26 vias.

It is built around the ATMEGA4809-MU. Its parts include 13 resistors, 9 connectors, 6 transistors, 4 capacitors and 1 IC. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

RCLib

This is a basic example of bringing up the ATMega 4808/4809 and enabling the most common hardware. I wrote this so I could use it to control various features in RC aircraft (telemetry and lights mostly).

I also have some small board designs for the 4808/4809 that I may include as well.

It has support for:

  • SBus protocol (channel information from radio)
  • S.Port Protocol (only for volts/amps reporting)
  • DSHOT 600 (bit bang) to set motor speed and get telemetry from ESC
  • Analog to Digital conversion (to read battery volts/amps)
  • PWM for controlling 'dumb' leds
  • APA102 (via SPI) & WS2812 (via bit bang)
  • Serial used by several protocols above as well as for debugging
  • Some simple RGB functions for LED control
  • Very minimal debugging log/print support
  • RTC clock

Questions

How big is the 4809Rc PCB?

It measures 24 × 27 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 4809Rc use?

47 parts, built around the ATMEGA4809-MU. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the 4809Rc KiCad files?

From the flitebits/rclib repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board/KiCad/4809RC_QFP/4809Rc.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 4809Rc design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
