About the Mbira3c PCB

Mbira3c is an open source ESP32 PCB design by collaborative-music-lab, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 128 × 29 mm, with 36 components from 8 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Wifiduino-ESP32S3-SMD, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the LSM6DS3_Breakout, SM351LT and IS31FL3218-GR. By type, the board carries 12 ICs, 12 capacitors, 9 diodes, 2 resistors and 1 connector.

It belongs with the audio, iot & wireless and sensors designs in this gallery.

From the project

ESP32-s3 midi controller

1. The main PCB, with the ESP32 pre-soldered 2. 4 potentiometers, 2 to place on the PCB and two additional off-board potentiometers with small pcbs. 3. 4 Arcade Buttons 4. An LSM6DS3 IMU breakout board 5. An RGB LED and resistors

Make sure get your enclosure drilled for your faceplate before you mount your PCB to the faceplate in step 9!!!

1. Place two potentiometers on the PCB. Make sure they are flat. It is a good idea to place the potentiometers on a faceplate to make sure they are aligned. Solder the potentiometers in place. the potentiometers go on the opposite side of the PCB from the…

Mbira3c: common questions

What microcontroller does the Mbira3c use?

The Mbira3c is built around the Wifiduino-ESP32S3-SMD, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Mbira3c PCB?

The Mbira3c measures 128 × 29 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Mbira3c?

36 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Mbira3c design files?

From the collaborative-music-lab/ESP_MIDI repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Mbira3c design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Mbira3c 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.
