About the Wright Flyer PCB

Wright Flyer is an open source ESP32 PCB design by AerospaceVillage, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 179.5 × 53.5 mm, with 38 components from 18 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-S2-SOLO-2-N4, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the R1170H331B-T1-FE. By type, the board carries 14 resistors, 5 connectors, 5 capacitors, 4 transistors, 4 switches and 3 diodes.

It belongs with the wearables designs in this gallery.

From the project

Aerospace Village Badge for Def Con 2023

First flown on December 17, 1903, this badge is a historical reference to those first 4 flights made that day nearly 120 years ago. The badge features 2 counter spinning propellers that the user can control. In addition the badge serves as a teaching aid for those interested in the intersection of Aviation and Cybersecurtiy. Explore the reversionary modes of motor operation and see what vulberabilites you can discover, but also importantly how you can mitigate the impact of those vulnerabilities through the redundant safety systems put in place.

Wright Flyer: common questions

What microcontroller does the Wright Flyer use?

The Wright Flyer is built around the ESP32-S2-SOLO-2-N4, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Wright Flyer PCB?

The Wright Flyer measures 179.5 × 53.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Wright Flyer?

38 components, from 18 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Wright Flyer design files?

From the AerospaceVillage/avBadge_2023 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Wright Flyer design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Wright Flyer 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.
