Dimled mini: common questions
What microcontroller does the Dimled mini use?
The Dimled mini is built around the ESP-01, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the Dimled mini PCB?
The Dimled mini measures 50 × 24.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Dimled mini?
15 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Dimled mini design files?
From the tqlabs-in/dimled-mini repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Dimled mini design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which tqlabs-in chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Dimled mini 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.
