EspLed: common questions

What microcontroller does the EspLed use?

The EspLed is built around the ESP-12F, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the EspLed PCB?

The EspLed measures 30.5 × 32.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the EspLed?

23 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the EspLed design files?

From the prostoiChelovek/espLed repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the EspLed design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the EspLed 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.
