Minimap: common questions
What microcontroller does the Minimap use?
The Minimap is built around the ESP32-S2-SOLO, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Minimap PCB?
The Minimap measures 48 × 55.4 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Minimap?
74 components, from 36 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 Minimap design files?
From the lucapoulos/minimap 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 Minimap design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with lucapoulos. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Minimap 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.
