Overview

Proto is an open-source printed circuit board by fo-am, from the fo-am/hex-protoboard repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 50.8 × 44 mm with 34 parts on 46 nets, routed with 326 tracks and 3 vias.

It is built around the ATMEGA328P-PU. Its parts include 28 connectors, 3 capacitors, 1 resistor, 1 IC and 1 crystal. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Questions

How big is the Proto PCB?

It measures 50.8 × 44 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Proto use?

34 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU. 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 Proto KiCad files?

From the fo-am/hex-protoboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is proto/proto.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Proto design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask fo-am before reusing the design.
