RC-Rover and-Controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the RC-Rover and-Controller use?
The RC-Rover and-Controller is built around the WeAct-ESP32-C3Fx4-CoreBoard, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the RC-Rover and-Controller PCB?
The RC-Rover and-Controller measures 70 × 72 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the RC-Rover and-Controller?
6 components, from 4 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the RC-Rover and-Controller design files?
From the pngo4/RC-Rover-and-Controller repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the RC-Rover and-Controller design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with pngo4. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the RC-Rover and-Controller 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.
