LO Main RevB: common questions

What microcontroller does the LO Main RevB use?

The LO Main RevB is built around the ESP8266-12E, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the LO Main RevB PCB?

The LO Main RevB measures 70 × 70 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the LO Main RevB?

51 components, from 28 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the LO Main RevB design files?

From the gatechipdl/GameOfLight repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the LO Main RevB design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which gatechipdl chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the LO Main RevB 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.
