GroundStudio Carbon S2: common questions
What microcontroller does the GroundStudio Carbon S2 use?
The GroundStudio Carbon S2 is built around the ESP32-S2FN4R2, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the GroundStudio Carbon S2 PCB?
The GroundStudio Carbon S2 measures 37 × 18 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the GroundStudio Carbon S2?
57 components, from 37 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the GroundStudio Carbon S2 design files?
From the GroundStudio/GroundStudio_Carbon_S2 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the GroundStudio Carbon S2 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with GroundStudio. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the GroundStudio Carbon S2 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.
