Questions

How big is the EspMessenger PCB?

It measures 51.3 × 32 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EspMessenger use?

5 parts, built around the WEMOS D1 MINI. 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 EspMessenger KiCad files?

From the usini/espMessenger repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/espMessenger.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EspMessenger design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
