About the RocketFlightController PCB

RocketFlightController is an open source ESP32 PCB design by Tiladura, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 63 × 62 mm, with 25 components from 15 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-WROOM-32E, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the MPU-6050, BMP280 and AMS1117-3.3. By type, the board carries 7 connectors, 7 capacitors, 5 resistors, 4 ICs and 2 switches.

It belongs with the iot & wireless, robotics & motion and sensors designs in this gallery.

And there is a bunch of capacitors, resistors, some buttons which are all used on a single custom PCB, all parts of which i will list in BOM list in the end.

All parts will be hand soldered by me. PCB contains smd and tht components:

RocketFlightController: common questions

What microcontroller does the RocketFlightController use?

The RocketFlightController is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the RocketFlightController PCB?

The RocketFlightController measures 63 × 62 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1 mm thick.

How many components are on the RocketFlightController?

25 components, from 15 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 RocketFlightController design files?

From the Tiladura/RocketFlightController 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 RocketFlightController design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the RocketFlightController 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.
