MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP: common questions
What microcontroller does the MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP use?
The MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP is built around the GENERIC-1X08-2.54, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP PCB?
The MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP measures 100 × 80 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP?
15 components, from 13 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 MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP design files?
From the chainstart/makerai-lab repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with chainstart. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the MakerAI ESP32 Smart Pot MVP 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.
