Orca Hana

Orca Hana is a compact PIC18(L)F45K50-based module board designed for DIY electronics and embedded system projects.

The project focuses on:

• simplicity
• learnability
• open hardware
• practical embedded development

Philosophy

All FCG design files are intended to be open and shareable. You are free to use, modify, and build upon the project, including commercial use. Please keep attribution to Funcoolgarage (FCG) and the Orca Hana project.
