OpenTRV-ESP: common questions
What microcontroller does the OpenTRV-ESP use?
The OpenTRV-ESP is built around the ESP32-C6-MINI-1/U, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the OpenTRV-ESP PCB?
The OpenTRV-ESP measures 45 × 53 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the OpenTRV-ESP?
58 components, from 29 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the OpenTRV-ESP design files?
From the mpiraux/OpenTRV-ESP repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the OpenTRV-ESP design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license, which mpiraux chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the OpenTRV-ESP 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.
