Rc fabgl: common questions

What microcontroller does the Rc fabgl use?

The Rc fabgl is built around the ESP32-WROVER-E, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Rc fabgl PCB?

The Rc fabgl measures 99.1 × 49.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Rc fabgl?

46 components, from 29 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Rc fabgl design files?

From the PickledDog/rc-fabgl repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Rc fabgl design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which PickledDog chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Rc fabgl 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.
