Joystick: common questions
What microcontroller does the Joystick use?
The Joystick is built around the ESP32-C6-DEVKITC-1-N8, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Joystick PCB?
The Joystick measures 220 × 210 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Joystick?
57 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Joystick design files?
From the grimlokason/joystick_pcb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Joystick design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with grimlokason. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Joystick 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.
