Questions

How big is the ESP12E BOB 1 PCB?

It measures 26.5 × 43.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ESP12E BOB 1 use?

21 parts, built around the ESP-12E and BSS138. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the ESP12E BOB 1 KiCad files?

From the ExploreEmbedded/ESP12E_BOB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ESP12E BOB_1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ESP12E BOB 1 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ExploreEmbedded before reusing the design.
