ROV-1: common questions
What microcontroller does the ROV-1 use?
The ROV-1 is built around the ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8R2, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the ROV-1 PCB?
The ROV-1 measures 130 × 90 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the ROV-1?
27 components, from 16 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the ROV-1 design files?
From the IslamHUFE/ROV-1-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 ROV-1 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with IslamHUFE. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the ROV-1 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.
