From the project
An Open Source Radio Transmitter Project
I have personally reached the end of this project that I created with these goals. Even though it is not completely professional, I have created a remote control that will do the job. I made both the hardware and software files open source to guide beginners who want to make their own remote control. Who knows, maybe someone will make the code I wrote more meaningful :)

RadioNoob: common questions
What microcontroller does the RadioNoob use?
The RadioNoob is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32D, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the RadioNoob PCB?
The RadioNoob measures 141.8 × 151.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the RadioNoob?
181 components, from 83 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the RadioNoob design files?
From the EIectron/RadioNoob repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the RadioNoob design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with EIectron. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the RadioNoob 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.
