CustomRFController: common questions

What microcontroller does the CustomRFController use?

The CustomRFController is built around the ESP32_DevKitC_30, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the CustomRFController PCB?

The CustomRFController measures 191.5 × 193.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the CustomRFController?

15 components, from 8 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 CustomRFController design files?

From the JoelBiswas/CustomRFController 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 CustomRFController design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the CustomRFController 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.
