SAVITAR-V2: common questions
What microcontroller does the SAVITAR-V2 use?
The SAVITAR-V2 is built around the ESP32-C3-MINI-1-H4X, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the SAVITAR-V2 PCB?
The SAVITAR-V2 measures 54.9 × 46.3 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the SAVITAR-V2?
135 components, from 45 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 SAVITAR-V2 design files?
From the alexandru-mot/SAVITAR-V2-PCB 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 SAVITAR-V2 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with alexandru-mot. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the SAVITAR-V2 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.
