Ithowifi 4l: common questions

What microcontroller does the Ithowifi 4l use?

The Ithowifi 4l is built around the ESP32-WROOM, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Ithowifi 4l PCB?

The Ithowifi 4l measures 63.1 × 49.8 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Ithowifi 4l?

42 components, from 26 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Ithowifi 4l design files?

From the arjenhiemstra/ithowifi_hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Ithowifi 4l design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Ithowifi 4l 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.
