Thanks. These tips help a lot.

I wouldn't say that the goal is to learn. I have implemented the design on a Dev board. I also designed a breakout board which worked well. I am now considering just trying to do a new layout in a smaller form factor.

There are bigger system integration tasks that I need to address before I can spend my resources on learning ESP32's board layout. That is why I wanted to derisk my design by building on top of a known good design or at least find out the best practices of board layout.

My goal is to make a dev board with a custom layout. So if I can use ESP32-DevKitC as a starting point then I can focus on the board layout having some confidence that the component selection and the routing is done correctly. That'll have save me some design iterations.

Maybe you are right that it is simple enough to recreate it and I just need to give it a try.

 

I am not much of an EE and I was wondering if there is a place where I can find schematics of popular esp32 dev boards? My hope is that I can do placement and wire routing on a known good schematic. I know that PDF version of the schematic is available and technically it is possible to recreate it in KiCad but I'm hoping to find something in native KiCad format so that I have a good starting point for making custom board shapes.

I have fancy California Internet and the downloads are surprisingly slow and kept slowing down and turning off. It was such a pain to get my data out of takeout.

Most of the ones I left are already up there. The two I'll add are - Donut - it wasn't the same after they got bought. I'm rooting for BigTime! Mental Floss, SciShow- Its been so long, I don't even remember why I watched it in the first place.

What did they change that you didn't like? I have used it for years. I'm not looking to switch but I'm curious to know what made you switch.

It could help you stay on topic and build good opening and summary slides. A good opening slide helps orient the audience and a good closing side summarizes well. Both help in making sure a decision is reached or the audience is aligned after the presentation.

There is a security risk of using your first name and last name in your email. It's very easy for malicious people to send you emails specifically addressing you. I have realized it now and I take the extra steps to set up good spam blocking in my email.
