Frosty: common questions
What microcontroller does the Frosty use?
The Frosty is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the Frosty PCB?
The Frosty measures 56.7 × 106.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Frosty?
24 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Frosty design files?
From the idlehandsdev/esp_ornaments repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Frosty design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with idlehandsdev. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Frosty without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP8266 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
