Cam
About the Cam PCB
Cam is an open source ESP32 PCB design by Anayjain1129, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 90.2 × 62.8 mm, with 10 components from 8 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ESP32-S3-SuperMini, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the 1.8_TFT_ST7735_128x160_SD and XIAO-ESP32-S3-SMD. By type, the board carries 4 switches, 3 ICs, 2 capacitors and 1 battery holder.
It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

Cam: common questions
What microcontroller does the Cam use?
The Cam is built around the ESP32-S3-SuperMini, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Cam PCB?
The Cam measures 90.2 × 62.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Cam?
10 components, from 8 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 Cam design files?
From the Anayjain1129/Cam 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 Cam design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Anayjain1129. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Cam 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.
