CA6x: common questions
What microcontroller does the CA6x use?
The CA6x is built around the ESP-12E/F, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the CA6x PCB?
The CA6x measures 101.6 × 162.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the CA6x?
183 components, from 55 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 CA6x design files?
From the mribble/CameraAxe6 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the CA6x design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with mribble. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the CA6x 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.
