Moto Audio: common questions
What microcontroller does the Moto Audio use?
The Moto Audio is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, from the ESP32 family.
How many components are on the Moto Audio?
40 components, from 30 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 Moto Audio design files?
From the bacnbit/Moto_Audio repository on GitHub, which has the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Moto Audio design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with bacnbit. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Moto Audio 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.
