RT Open GPS Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the RT Open GPS Board use?

The RT Open GPS Board is built around the C7499337, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the RT Open GPS Board?

The RT Open GPS Board measures 85 × 100 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RT Open GPS Board?

111 components, from 48 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 RT Open GPS Board design files?

From the rtymk/RT_Open_GPS_Board 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 RT Open GPS Board design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the RT Open GPS Board 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.
