RicardoBlackBox: common questions

What microcontroller does the RicardoBlackBox use?

The RicardoBlackBox is built around the ESP32-S3, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the RicardoBlackBox PCB?

The RicardoBlackBox measures 47.1 × 50.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RicardoBlackBox?

55 components, from 44 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 RicardoBlackBox design files?

From the icl-rocketry/Ricardo-JollyRoger 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 RicardoBlackBox design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with icl-rocketry. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the RicardoBlackBox 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.
