From the project
Custom PC fan control system with temperature monitoring. Designed for efficient cooling, low noise, and flexible control via PWM/DC
Hardware assets for the controller: the KiCad board project, PCB production files, and the bill of materials.
It contains: - all files from production/gerbers/; - all files from production/drill/.
The BOM is kept in the repository separately and is not packed by this script, so it should be treated as an independent manufacturing artifact.

Water cooling controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the Water cooling controller use?
The Water cooling controller is built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Water cooling controller PCB?
The Water cooling controller measures 55.6 × 63.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Water cooling controller?
84 components, from 39 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Water cooling controller design files?
From the diablo4338/water_cooling_controller repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Water cooling controller design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which diablo4338 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Water cooling controller 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.
