Nexus.terminal: common questions

What microcontroller does the Nexus.terminal use?

The Nexus.terminal is built around the ESP32-C6-DEVKITC-1, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Nexus.terminal PCB?

The Nexus.terminal measures 353 × 117 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Nexus.terminal?

170 components, from 19 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 Nexus.terminal design files?

From the Ekam-wadhwa1/nexus.terminal 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 Nexus.terminal design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which Ekam-wadhwa1 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Nexus.terminal 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.
