ArxController: common questions

What microcontroller does the ArxController use?

The ArxController is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the ArxController PCB?

The ArxController measures 132.9 × 77.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ArxController?

58 components, from 40 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 ArxController design files?

From the ArxDraco007/ArxController 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 ArxController design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with ArxDraco007. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the ArxController 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.
