About the UWB Fly PCB

UWB Fly is an open source ESP32 PCB design by DynamicWhiteHat, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 38 × 38 mm, with 19 components from 10 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the XIAO-ESP32-S3-SMD, from the ESP32 family. By type, the board carries 9 resistors, 4 diodes, 2 capacitors, 1 IC, 1 connector and 1 switch.

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

From the project

An ESP-32 powered drone that follows you

The drone is powered by a custom designed PCB based on the ESP-32 S3 Wroom 1u SoM. It includes three SK6812 mini-e LEDs to serve as a status signal, located at the rear of the drone. There are three sensors located on board to help with flight. The MPU-6050 is a triple-axis accelerometer and gyroscope that is essential to help the drone fly. The MS5611 is a pressure sensor that is used to record and maintain height during flight. The final sensor, an HMC5883, is a triple-axis magnetometer that is used to report the drone's heading. The latter two sensors are reported in QGroundControl or any…

UWB Fly: common questions

What microcontroller does the UWB Fly use?

The UWB Fly is built around the XIAO-ESP32-S3-SMD, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the UWB Fly PCB?

The UWB Fly measures 38 × 38 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the UWB Fly?

19 components, from 10 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 UWB Fly design files?

From the DynamicWhiteHat/Orbit 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 UWB Fly design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the UWB Fly 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.
