ESP32-modules: common questions
What microcontroller does the ESP32-modules use?
The ESP32-modules is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the ESP32-modules PCB?
The ESP32-modules measures 80.5 × 28.2 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.564 mm thick.
How many components are on the ESP32-modules?
37 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 ESP32-modules design files?
From the digitalforger73/ESP32-modules-kicad 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 ESP32-modules design in my own project?
It is published under Custom license, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the ESP32-modules 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.
