About the Controller PCB

Controller is an open source ESP8266 PCB design by anno73, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 38.1 × 4.9 mm, with 3 components from 3 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family. By type, the board carries 1 IC, 1 transistor and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

Ever wanted to have a customizable IoT enabled socket strip? Now you can... This project enhances an Ehmann Universal Socket Strip like the 8-fold strip 0200x00082301 with custom relay controller and dedicated switching PCBs for each of the sockets. The controller PCB is ESP8266 based, ideal for integration into your home IoT installation via e.g. MQTT.

Controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Controller use?

The Controller is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the Controller PCB?

The Controller measures 38.1 × 4.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Controller?

3 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Controller design files?

From the anno73/IoT-Universal-Socket-Strip repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Controller design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with anno73. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Controller 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.
