Plantomation: common questions
What microcontroller does the Plantomation use?
The Plantomation is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Plantomation PCB?
The Plantomation measures 100 × 100 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 2.6062 mm thick.
How many components are on the Plantomation?
193 components, from 48 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Plantomation design files?
From the Synthron/Plantomation repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Plantomation design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Synthron. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Plantomation 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.
