About the Maslow Mini Merged Board

Maslow Mini Merged Board is an open source ESP32 PCB design by BarbourSmith, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 70.7 × 111 mm, with 156 components from 53 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the 2.4GHz, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the MP6541A, XT60PB-M.G.Y, DRV8876PWPR, TCA9546A and ZDSD01GLGEAG. By type, the board carries 64 capacitors, 53 resistors, 12 ICs, 11 connectors, 5 diodes and 4 LEDs.

It belongs with the robotics & motion and iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

A third KiCad project that puts both existing boards on one PCB:

A third KiCad project that puts both existing boards on one PCB:

Scope: schematic, plus a partially-placed PCB. The mechanically-constrained parts are placed; the rest are staged off-board for manual placement. Nothing is routed yet.

The merge is in two parts: joining the two circuits, and then removing the redundancy that a single board makes pointless. 169 parts / 61 BOM lines → 156 parts / 53 BOM lines.

Maslow Mini Merged Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the Maslow Mini Merged Board use?

The Maslow Mini Merged Board is built around the 2.4GHz, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Maslow Mini Merged Board?

The Maslow Mini Merged Board measures 70.7 × 111 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Maslow Mini Merged Board?

156 components, from 53 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 Maslow Mini Merged Board design files?

From the BarbourSmith/Maslow-Mini-Control-Board 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 Maslow Mini Merged Board design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with BarbourSmith. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Maslow Mini Merged Board 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.
