Echelon: common questions
What microcontroller does the Echelon use?
The Echelon is built around the ESP8266EX, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the Echelon PCB?
The Echelon measures 70.2 × 42.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Echelon?
5 components, from 5 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Echelon design files?
From the systemsculptor/Echelon repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Echelon design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with systemsculptor. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Echelon without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP8266 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
