Driver Control: common questions

What microcontroller does the Driver Control use?

The Driver Control is built around the ESP32-S3-DEVKITC, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Driver Control PCB?

The Driver Control measures 132.7 × 121.4 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.600198 mm thick.

How many components are on the Driver Control?

40 components, from 14 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 Driver Control design files?

From the Monash-Railway-Express/KiCad_Files 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 Driver Control design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Driver Control 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.
