ESP BMCU: common questions
What microcontroller does the ESP BMCU use?
The ESP BMCU is built around the ESP32-S3-MINI-1U-N8, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the ESP BMCU PCB?
The ESP BMCU measures 31.2 × 99.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the ESP BMCU?
74 components, from 32 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 ESP BMCU design files?
From the mengxyz/ESP_BMCU 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 ESP BMCU design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which mengxyz chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the ESP BMCU 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.
