Hardware design: common questions
What microcontroller does the Hardware design use?
The Hardware design is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Hardware design PCB?
The Hardware design measures 82 × 42 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Hardware design?
56 components, from 36 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Hardware design design files?
From the Open-Authenticator/hardware-design repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Hardware design design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Open-Authenticator chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Hardware design 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.
