Soil metrics: common questions
What microcontroller does the Soil metrics use?
The Soil metrics is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Soil metrics PCB?
The Soil metrics measures 88.3 × 112.3 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Soil metrics?
74 components, from 45 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 Soil metrics design files?
From the Aryan-git-byte/Soil-metrics 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 Soil metrics design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Aryan-git-byte chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Soil metrics 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.
