Spotube: common questions

What microcontroller does the Spotube use?

The Spotube is built around the ESP32-S3-SuperMini, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Spotube PCB?

The Spotube measures 58 × 72.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Spotube?

6 components, from 4 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 Spotube design files?

From the Sudo-Aju/Spotube 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 Spotube design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Spotube 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.
