PROTOTYPE: common questions

What microcontroller does the PROTOTYPE use?

The PROTOTYPE is built around the ESP32-DEVKITC-32D, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the PROTOTYPE PCB?

The PROTOTYPE measures 71.1 × 91.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the PROTOTYPE?

31 components, from 29 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the PROTOTYPE design files?

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

Can I use the PROTOTYPE design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its AGPL-3.0 license, which Animal-Crate chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the PROTOTYPE 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.
