ESP12E-breakout: common questions
What microcontroller does the ESP12E-breakout use?
The ESP12E-breakout is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the ESP12E-breakout?
The ESP12E-breakout measures 31.6 × 26.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the ESP12E-breakout?
15 components, from 10 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the ESP12E-breakout design files?
From the aleksejm/6xUSB-Power-Meter repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the ESP12E-breakout design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with aleksejm. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the ESP12E-breakout without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP8266 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
