GyroCube: common questions

What microcontroller does the GyroCube use?

The GyroCube is built around the esp module 30pins, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the GyroCube PCB?

The GyroCube measures 73.5 × 52.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the GyroCube?

23 components, from 15 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 GyroCube design files?

From the Pedro-51/GyroCube 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 GyroCube design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Pedro-51. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the GyroCube 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.
