WifiLightsController: common questions

What microcontroller does the WifiLightsController use?

The WifiLightsController is built around the ESP8266-03, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the WifiLightsController PCB?

The WifiLightsController measures 49.8 × 22 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the WifiLightsController?

11 components, from 11 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 WifiLightsController design files?

From the David-Estevez/WifiLightsController repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the WifiLightsController design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the WifiLightsController without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP8266 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
