About the Hw trials PCB

Hw trials is an open source ESP8266 PCB design by forGGe, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 49.5 × 49.5 mm, with 28 components from 18 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family. Other key parts include the NCP1117ST33T3G. By type, the board carries 13 resistors, 7 connectors, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 switches and 1 jumper.

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

Hw trials: common questions

What microcontroller does the Hw trials use?

The Hw trials is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the Hw trials PCB?

The Hw trials measures 49.5 × 49.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Hw trials?

28 components, from 18 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 Hw trials design files?

From the forGGe/hw_trials repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Hw trials design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Hw trials 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.
