About the In13-Spectrum-Analyser PCB
In13-Spectrum-Analyser is an open source ESP32 PCB design by ImNoahDev, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 264.2 × 71.1 mm, with 109 components from 42 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ESP32-WROOM-32, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the AMS1117-3.3, MSGEQ7, MCP6002-XMC, CH340C and MAX1771XSA. By type, the board carries 47 resistors, 29 capacitors, 9 ICs, 8 transistors, 3 switches and 2 connectors.
It belongs with the iot & wireless, test & measurement and displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
I have designed an audio spectrum analyser that breaks an audio signal down into 7 frequency bands and displays each band on an in13 nixie tube. My project has Wifi allowing for smart home control. My project has a volume (changes sensitivity) and a brightness potentiometer. Each
I have designed an audio spectrum analyser that breaks an audio signal down into 7 frequency bands and displays each band on an in13 nixie tube. My project has Wifi allowing for smart home control. My project has a volume (changes sensitivity) and a brightness potentiometer. Each PCB takes a single audio signal input and 2 can be used for full stereo.
The case uses a laser cut kerf bend to allow the wrap around sheet to be cut in a single part.

In13-Spectrum-Analyser: common questions
What microcontroller does the In13-Spectrum-Analyser use?
The In13-Spectrum-Analyser is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the In13-Spectrum-Analyser PCB?
The In13-Spectrum-Analyser measures 264.2 × 71.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the In13-Spectrum-Analyser?
