About the Rick-Flash PCB

Rick-Flash is an open source ESP8266 PCB design by rectifiedtech, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 80 × 24 mm, with 19 components from 8 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family. Other key parts include the 4017. By type, the board carries 10 ICs, 4 resistors, 2 connectors, 1 buzzer, 1 switch and 1 capacitor.

It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

Rick-Flash: common questions

What microcontroller does the Rick-Flash use?

The Rick-Flash is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the Rick-Flash PCB?

The Rick-Flash measures 80 × 24 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Rick-Flash?

19 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Rick-Flash design files?

From the rectifiedtech/Rick-Flash repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Rick-Flash design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which rectifiedtech chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Rick-Flash 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.
