What boards using the Pad 3 are built for
Pad 3: common questions
Where can I find a Pad 3 reference design?
Each of the 1 boards on this page is a real design using the Pad 3. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the Pad 3 use?
Most are built on ESP32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the Pad 3?
The median is 70 × 45 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the Pad 3?
By GitHub stars, Hand main by SonDinh23, with 4 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the Pad 3 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
