About the SommerESP PCB
SommerESP is an open source ESP32 PCB design by exico91, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 76.8 × 23.5 mm, with 30 components from 23 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the LM2596SX-3.3/NOPB. By type, the board carries 9 resistors, 5 connectors, 5 diodes, 4 capacitors, 2 ICs and 2 transistors.
It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

This combo is designed to replace the Sommer Conex Module and the Sommer Output OC Module.
This project takes the 24V and converts it to 3.3V for the ESP32-C3 module, the DC regulator on the power board can take from 4.5V to 40V and cleanly output 3.3V then transfer it to the Control board along with the status signal.

SommerESP: common questions
What microcontroller does the SommerESP use?
The SommerESP is built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the SommerESP PCB?
The SommerESP measures 76.8 × 23.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the SommerESP?
30 components, from 23 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 SommerESP design files?
From the exico91/SommerESP 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 SommerESP design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which exico91 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the SommerESP 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.
