Overview

EB1 is an open-source printed circuit board by robojay, from the robojay/EB1 repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 79 × 16 mm with 62 parts on 25 nets, routed with 284 tracks and 18 vias.

It is built around the CJ2302, B5817W and CJ2305. Its parts include 10 resistors, 6 diodes, 5 transistors, 4 connectors and 2 capacitors. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Firmware: Under Development. It is possible to use firmware from similar open source designs. However, we have obtained our own USB PID through pid.codes and any EB1 released to the public will use this. You MUST obtain your own USB VID/PID for your projects unless you are using an EB1 manufactured by us. You MAY NOT release products using our USB VID/PID.

Arduino IDE Compatibility: Under Development. We are currently testing with Version 1.6.3 of the Official Arduino IDE. Installation instructions and files will be provided soon. The first releases will be "hacker friendly" but not necessarily ready for the general public.

Attributions / Inspirations

Although the general idea for this project was conceived many years ago, its implementation was greatly assisted by the work of Adafruit (Trinket Bootloader, Trinket), Digispark, MIT high-low tech, and all the other folks who have developed/contributed to USB implementation on the Atmel ATtiny processors.

Questions

How big is the EB1 PCB?

It measures 79 × 16 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EB1 use?

62 parts, built around the CJ2302, B5817W and CJ2305. 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 EB1 KiCad files?

From the robojay/EB1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EB1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EB1 design in my own project?

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