Threeboard

Image

The v1 threeboard has been fully assembled and firmware is currently in developement. Firmware is in the code/ directory and is written in C.

KiCad instructions

PCB files are in the pcb/ directory. Threeboard is designed on an ATSAMD21E17A arm microcontroller. A v2 board is in development

Both random parts and mx switch footprint are dependencies for the kicad files.

Questions

How big is the Samd21 PCB?

It measures 86.5 × 23 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Samd21 use?

13 parts, built around the ATSAMD21E17A-AU. 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 Samd21 KiCad files?

From the Mee42/threeboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/samd21/samd21.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Samd21 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Mee42 before reusing the design.
