WirelessBERA: common questions

What microcontroller does the WirelessBERA use?

The WirelessBERA is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the WirelessBERA PCB?

The WirelessBERA measures 73 × 94 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.579 mm thick.

How many components are on the WirelessBERA?

153 components, from 58 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 WirelessBERA design files?

From the NathansLab/WirelessBERA 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 WirelessBERA design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the WirelessBERA 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.
