Microcontrollers on boards using the ESP-12E/F
What boards using the ESP-12E/F are built for
ESP-12E/F: common questions
Where can I find a ESP-12E/F reference design?
Each of the 3 boards on this page is a real design using the ESP-12E/F. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the ESP-12E/F use?
Most are built on ESP8266 (3).
How big is a typical board using the ESP-12E/F?
The median is 101.6 × 162.6 mm, and 33% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the ESP-12E/F?
By GitHub stars, Goatgdo by Kaldek, with 506 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the ESP-12E/F before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
