Ball Lamp: common questions
What microcontroller does the Ball Lamp use?
The Ball Lamp is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the Ball Lamp PCB?
The Ball Lamp measures 80 × 80 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Ball Lamp?
33 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Ball Lamp design files?
From the dipenarathod/Smart-Lights repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Ball Lamp design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with dipenarathod. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Ball Lamp 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.
