About the Nomad PCB

Nomad is an open source ESP32 PCB design by 0Zane, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 65 × 120 mm, with 69 components from 43 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the PCF8574T, MAX17048G_T10, BME280, MCP73831-2-OT and NEO-M8M. By type, the board carries 24 resistors, 20 capacitors, 8 ICs, 8 switches, 5 connectors and 2 diodes.

It belongs with the rf & radio and sensors designs in this gallery.

From the project

One Adventure - One device,Nomad is a custom outdoor mobile device built around the ESP32-S3. It is designed for explorers, researchers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable positioning, long-range communication, environmental awareness, and practical survival utilities in a compact package.

Nomad is a custom outdoor mobile device built around the ESP32-S3. It is designed for explorers, researchers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable positioning, long-range communication, environmental awareness, and practical survival utilities in a compact rugged package. I made this project entirely myself, the idea comes from my passion of making useful objects that help people in specific actions.

Nomad: common questions

What microcontroller does the Nomad use?

The Nomad is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Nomad PCB?

The Nomad measures 65 × 120 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Nomad?

69 components, from 43 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Nomad design files?

From the 0Zane/Nomad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Nomad design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which 0Zane chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Nomad without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
