PondPad: common questions
What microcontroller does the PondPad use?
The PondPad is built around the XIAO-ESP32-C3-SMD, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the PondPad PCB?
The PondPad measures 107.5 × 56 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the PondPad?
8 components, from 4 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the PondPad design files?
From the anasluqman089/PondPad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the PondPad design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CC0-1.0 license, which anasluqman089 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the PondPad 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.
