Main: common questions
What microcontroller does the Main use?
The Main is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Main PCB?
The Main measures 58.5 × 120.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Main?
117 components, from 53 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Main design files?
From the LEDs-by-glowingkitty/GlowLight repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Main design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which LEDs-by-glowingkitty chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Main 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.
