Which microcontrollers do boards using the Y Axis use?
Most are built on ESP32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the Y Axis?
The median is 105.2 × 71.1 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the Y Axis?
By GitHub stars, Onyx-Stepper-Motherboard by CuriousMotor, with 56 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the Y Axis 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.
