TyroBot: common questions

What microcontroller does the TyroBot use?

The TyroBot is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the TyroBot PCB?

The TyroBot measures 68 × 49.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the TyroBot?

44 components, from 28 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the TyroBot design files?

From the TyroElectronics/TyroBot repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the TyroBot design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which TyroElectronics chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the TyroBot 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.
