Robot dog: common questions

What microcontroller does the Robot dog use?

The Robot dog is built around the ESP32_1, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Robot dog PCB?

The Robot dog measures 59 × 66 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Robot dog?

7 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Robot dog design files?

From the adamsa09/robot-dog repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Robot dog design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with adamsa09. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Robot dog without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
