Give-A-Star: common questions

What microcontroller does the Give-A-Star use?

The Give-A-Star is built around the WeMos_D1_mini, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the Give-A-Star PCB?

The Give-A-Star measures 123.2 × 118.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Give-A-Star?

14 components, from 9 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Give-A-Star design files?

From the ANG13T/Give-A-Star repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Give-A-Star design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with ANG13T. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Give-A-Star 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.
