LED-Panel-ESP12F: common questions

What microcontroller does the LED-Panel-ESP12F use?

The LED-Panel-ESP12F is built around the ESP-12F, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the LED-Panel-ESP12F PCB?

The LED-Panel-ESP12F measures 102.6 × 35.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the LED-Panel-ESP12F?

21 components, from 16 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 LED-Panel-ESP12F design files?

From the easai/LED-Panel-ESP12F 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 LED-Panel-ESP12F design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the LED-Panel-ESP12F 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.
