Interactiles Controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the Interactiles Controller use?
The Interactiles Controller is built around the XIAO-ESP32-S3-SMD, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Interactiles Controller PCB?
The Interactiles Controller measures 62.5 × 103.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Interactiles Controller?
25 components, from 17 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 Interactiles Controller design files?
From the sullyjason/interactiles 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 Interactiles Controller design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with sullyjason. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Interactiles Controller 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.
