R2D2 LED Controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the R2D2 LED Controller use?
The R2D2 LED Controller is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32D-N16, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the R2D2 LED Controller PCB?
The R2D2 LED Controller measures 123 × 78 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the R2D2 LED Controller?
94 components, from 51 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 R2D2 LED Controller design files?
From the greghulette/KiCad-Files-Public 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 R2D2 LED Controller design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with greghulette. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the R2D2 LED Controller 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.
