ThinUSBLightV1: common questions
What microcontroller does the ThinUSBLightV1 use?
The ThinUSBLightV1 is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the ThinUSBLightV1 PCB?
The ThinUSBLightV1 measures 20 × 45 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the ThinUSBLightV1?
15 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the ThinUSBLightV1 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 ThinUSBLightV1 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 ThinUSBLightV1 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.
