Lite wing drone: common questions
What microcontroller does the Lite wing drone use?
The Lite wing drone is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Lite wing drone PCB?
The Lite wing drone measures 100 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Lite wing drone?
76 components, from 76 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 Lite wing drone design files?
From the Omern187/lite-wing-drone 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 Lite wing drone design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Omern187. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Lite wing drone 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.
