ProtogenControllerV1: common questions

What microcontroller does the ProtogenControllerV1 use?

The ProtogenControllerV1 is built around the ESP32-WROVER-B_(16MB), from the ESP32 family.

How big is the ProtogenControllerV1 PCB?

The ProtogenControllerV1 measures 65 × 52 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ProtogenControllerV1?

59 components, from 18 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 ProtogenControllerV1 design files?

From the coelacant1/Protogen-Electronics 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 ProtogenControllerV1 design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which coelacant1 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the ProtogenControllerV1 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.
