Main: common questions
What microcontroller does the Main use?
The Main is built around the SEED_XIAO_ESP32C3, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Main PCB?
The Main measures 100 × 66 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Main?
108 components, from 37 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 Main design files?
From the Thrcot/ThormasMK2-circuit 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 Main design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Thrcot. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Main 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.
