Its main chip is the ESP32-C6-MINI-1, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the DRV2625YFFR, BQ25186DLHR, TPS63802DLAR, TUSB320LAIRWBR and TPD2EUSB30DRTR. By type, the board carries 93 resistors, 74 capacitors, 43 connectors, 25 ICs, 8 modules and 8 fuses.

From the project

Open main/main.kicadpro and satellite/satellite.kicadpro in KiCad 10.

Open main/main.kicadpro and satellite/satellite.kicadpro in KiCad 10.

- main/: one controller daughterboard PCBA; its haptic pod is a separate universal board. - satellite/: one universal PCBA, built eight times per wrist. JP1 selects normal or end-of-chain operation. - HapticBracelet.kicadsym, HapticBracelet.pretty/: shared libraries referenced by both projects. - panel/: future derived manufacturing panel, never the source for board edits. - verification/project-split/: current schematic PDFs, previews and check reports. - archive/combined-project/: superseded eight-island project…

The KiCad project lives in the earlynerd/ELRS-haptics repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

Merged: common questions

What microcontroller does the Merged use?

The Merged is built around the ESP32-C6-MINI-1, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Merged PCB?

The Merged measures 21 × 55.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 0.8 mm thick.

How many components are on the Merged?

261 components, from 52 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Merged design files?

From the earlynerd/ELRS-haptics repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Merged design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Merged 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.
