From the project
ESP32 microcontrollers is chosed for its low cost, low power consumption, and ease of use. It is also widely supported by the Arduino IDE and has a large community for support.
ESP32 microcontrollers is chosed for its low cost, low power consumption, and ease of use. It is also widely supported by the Arduino IDE and has a large community for support.
In comparison: - Arduino: Low cost, low power consumption but large in size and limited in processing power. - STM32: Low cost, low power consumption, but requires more complex setup and programming. - Raspberry Pi: High processing power, but high cost and power consumption. Not suitable for low power applications.

59 components, from 29 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 Solar proa network server design files?
From the shipshape-marine/solar_proa_network_server 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 Solar proa network server design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with shipshape-marine. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Solar proa network server 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.
