Display: common questions
What microcontroller does the Display use?
The Display is built around the ESP32-S3-44-Pin, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Display PCB?
The Display measures 67.8 × 100.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Display?
35 components, from 29 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 Display design files?
From the alexanderenrique/smart_tbird repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Display design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with alexanderenrique. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Display 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.
