DroneHardware: common questions

What microcontroller does the DroneHardware use?

The DroneHardware is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the DroneHardware PCB?

The DroneHardware measures 19.5 × 23.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 4.69 mm thick.

How many components are on the DroneHardware?

49 components, from 34 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 DroneHardware design files?

From the GiovanniRaseraF/DroneTheory 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 DroneHardware design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the DroneHardware 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.
