About the Micronova controller PCB

Micronova controller is an open source ESP8266 PCB design by philibertc, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 67.9 × 45.5 mm, with 13 components from 9 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the WEMOS_D1_MINI, from the ESP8266 family. Other key parts include the PC817. By type, the board carries 5 connectors, 4 ICs and 4 resistors.

From the project

The repo for the PCB made to work with the micronova_controller project.

Kits are available on Tindie! In stock every month. Here is an overview of the additions:

- possibility to reset the settings with a flat screwdriver - IO footprints are now designed to accept screw terminals - D0 and RST are connected for deep sleep - a row of pins has been added to access unused pins

- AMG S.p.A. (Artel, Kalor, Tepor, Foco, Adler) - Anselmo Cola - Boreal - Bronpi - Cadel - Clam - Corisit S.r.l. (Lincar, Vulcania, Arce) - Ecoteck - EL.FIRE - EOSS - EvaCalor - Fontana Calore - Fonte Flamme - Galletti - Globe-Fire - Italiana Camini - Jolly Mec - Karmek - Kepo - Klover -…

Micronova controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Micronova controller use?

The Micronova controller is built around the WEMOS_D1_MINI, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the Micronova controller PCB?

The Micronova controller measures 67.9 × 45.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Micronova controller?

13 components, from 9 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 Micronova controller design files?

From the philibertc/micronova_controller_pcb 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 Micronova controller design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Micronova controller without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP8266 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
