About the Spark devboard rf PCB
Spark devboard rf is an open source ESP32 PCB design by emb3rcia, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 29 × 45.3 mm, with 15 components from 12 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ESP32-Wrover-IE-N16R8, from the ESP32 family. By type, the board carries 3 capacitors, 3 resistors, 2 connectors and 1 IC.
It belongs with the iot & wireless and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
RF focused devboard based on ESPRESSIF ESP32-WROVER-IE-N16R8 allowing Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2 Classic and Bluetooth 4.2 BLE communication using external u.FL antena

spark-devboard-rf was created from boreness, but also as a stepping stone before using the same module in upcoming audio player of mine
Pin functions are written on back of the PCB. Alternate functions can be found in this datasheet

Spark devboard rf: common questions
What microcontroller does the Spark devboard rf use?
The Spark devboard rf is built around the ESP32-Wrover-IE-N16R8, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Spark devboard rf PCB?
The Spark devboard rf measures 29 × 45.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Spark devboard rf?
15 components, from 12 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 Spark devboard rf design files?
From the emb3rcia/spark-devboard-rf 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 Spark devboard rf design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with emb3rcia. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Spark devboard rf 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.
