v1.8
UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Half a BYTE
- 1.08 by 1.12 inches, 27.432 by 28.448 millimeters
- 4 motors
- 4 servos
- 2 additional GPIO pins
- built-in IMU
- battery monitoring
- I2C connector on QT PY
- runs on 3-11 volts
program with RCMv2
Tested with the following types of ESP32 QT Py:
Type of Qt Py | PlatformIO name | link to Adafruit |
---|---|---|
S3 with 2MB PSRAM | adafruit_qtpy_esp32s3_n4r2 | https://www.adafruit.com/product/5700 |
S3 with 8Mb Flash | adafruit_qtpy_esp32s3_nopsram | https://www.adafruit.com/product/5426 |

Want slightly larger and 8 motors and 8 servos? Look at the BYTE
- PCBWay link (coming soon, after testing is complete) (PCBWay will give me a commission without increasing the price for you). (approximately $110 for 2 boards and manufacturing took a month).
- send the gerbers, bill of materials, and ComponentPlacement files (in /PCBproduction-RCM-Nibble) to a PCB manufacturer of your choice (details you may be asked for: min hole 0.25mm, min track/spacing 5/5mil, thickness 1.0mm, 1 oz Cu outer 1.5 oz Cu inner, tell them to not solder the icm20948's exposed pad)
- I would like to thank PCBWay for sponsoring prototyping runs of this project. PCBWay produces very nice boards, supports open source hardware, and gave me great support as I worked on this project. Special thanks to Liam!
