Fall detector Hardware: common questions

What microcontroller does the Fall detector Hardware use?

The Fall detector Hardware is built around the esp8266, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the Fall detector Hardware PCB?

The Fall detector Hardware measures 85.7 × 137.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Fall detector Hardware?

40 components, from 25 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Fall detector Hardware design files?

From the mdelloso/fall_detector_Hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Fall detector Hardware design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Fall detector Hardware 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.
