Master: common questions
What microcontroller does the Master use?
The Master is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Master PCB?
The Master measures 60 × 30 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Master?
29 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Master design files?
From the Hong-Kong-Public-Transport/RC-Bus-System repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Master design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Hong-Kong-Public-Transport. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Master 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.
