Beacon: common questions
What microcontroller does the Beacon use?
The Beacon is built around the ESP32-S3FH4R2, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Beacon PCB?
The Beacon measures 99.4 × 99.4 mm, has 6 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Beacon?
215 components, from 66 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Beacon design files?
From the AllThisAndThat/Beacon repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Beacon design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with AllThisAndThat. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Beacon 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.
