R7 nognd: common questions
What microcontroller does the R7 nognd use?
The R7 nognd is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the R7 nognd PCB?
The R7 nognd measures 100 × 90 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the R7 nognd?
109 components, from 52 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the R7 nognd design files?
From the odtu/PCBDesignWClaude repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the R7 nognd design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license, which odtu chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the R7 nognd 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.
