About the Esp01-led controller PCB

Esp01-led controller is an open source ESP8266 PCB design by eritbh, published on GitHub under the CC0-1.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 11.7 × 33.8 mm, with 22 components from 15 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP-01, from the ESP8266 family. Other key parts include the SPX3819M5-L-3-3, TC7SZ125FU and CH340G. By type, the board carries 7 resistors, 6 capacitors, 4 ICs, 2 transistors, 2 connectors and 1 crystal.

It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

Esp01-led controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Esp01-led controller use?

The Esp01-led controller is built around the ESP-01, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the Esp01-led controller PCB?

The Esp01-led controller measures 11.7 × 33.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Esp01-led controller?

22 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Esp01-led controller design files?

From the eritbh/esp01-led-controller repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Esp01-led controller design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CC0-1.0 license, which eritbh chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Esp01-led controller 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.
