About the Bugsy PCB

Bugsy is an open source ESP32 PCB design by SamuelNoesslboeck, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license. It is a board, with 34 components from 28 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-WROOM-32, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the SX1276, L298N, PCA9685PW, LCD-016N002L and DHT11. By type, the board carries 14 modules, 8 connectors, 6 ICs, 3 resistors, 1 buzzer and 1 switch.

It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.

Bugsy: common questions

What microcontroller does the Bugsy use?

The Bugsy is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, from the ESP32 family.

How many components are on the Bugsy?

34 components, from 28 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Bugsy design files?

From the SamuelNoesslboeck/Bugsy repository on GitHub, which has the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Bugsy design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license, which SamuelNoesslboeck chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Bugsy 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.
