About the The card PCB
The card is an open source ESP32 PCB design by clouds56-mcu, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 54 × 85.6 mm, with 71 components from 34 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the C2913202, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the C5221752, C2655100, C7461849, C2682616 and C382139. By type, the board carries 29 capacitors, 17 resistors, 10 ICs, 4 switches, 4 diodes and 3 transistors.
From the project
The electrical design of the-card, captured in code and emitted as both a KiCad schematic (.kicadsch) and a netlist (.net`). KiCad 10 is installed; the schematic opens in eeschema and is ERC-clean (0 errors).
The electrical design of the-card, captured in code and emitted as both a KiCad schematic (.kicadsch) and a netlist (.net`). KiCad 10 is installed; the schematic opens in eeschema and is ERC-clean (0 errors).
The verifier exports the complete KiCad schematic and compares both the peer set of every component pin and every explicitly named net with the canonicalized SKiDL circuit. The expected v0.2.0 result is 78 components and 292 component pins with identical connectivity across 43 canonical named nets. KiCad ERC has 0 violations.

The card: common questions
What microcontroller does the The card use?
The The card is built around the C2913202, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the The card PCB?
The The card measures 54 × 85.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 0.8 mm thick.
How many components are on the The card?
71 components, from 34 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 The card design files?
From the clouds56-mcu/the-card 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 The card design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which clouds56-mcu chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the The card 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.
