Building the firmware

with Platform.io

Install platformio with

bash
pip3 install platformio

Or pick any other installation method from https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/installation.html

Review https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest//faq.html#platformio-udev-rules and install the udev rules.

To refresh your groups inside a running session without logging in, you can use:

bash
su - $USER

After doing this (or a reboot), you can then flash the firmware with:

bash
cd Prototype/PlatformioProjekt
platformio run -t upload

Questions

How big is the Pingboard Prototype PCB?

It measures 87.6 × 25.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pingboard Prototype use?

23 parts, built around the 74LVC1G10DW. 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 Pingboard Prototype KiCad files?

From the PingTechGmbH/PingBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Prototype/PCB/Pingboard_Prototype.kicad_pcb and its schematic Prototype/PCB/Pingboard_Prototype.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pingboard Prototype design in my own project?

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