About the RFID PCB

RFID is an open source ESP32 PCB design by Kushal-Sachdeva78, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 103.5 × 158 mm, with 8 components from 8 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the MODULE_ESP32_DEVKIT_V1, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the TFT_320x240. By type, the board carries 3 ICs, 1 battery holder, 1 speaker, 1 switch and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the iot & wireless and displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

RFID attendance and entry-exit prototype for Vasant Valley School: ESP32 and RC522 firmware with a TFT status display, a custom KiCad PCB, a FastAPI backend, and a web dashboard with Firebase mirroring.

A prototype of an RFID-based attendance, entry-exit, and laptop-borrowing system built around the school's existing ID cards: ESP32 firmware with an RC522 reader and TFT status display, a custom KiCad PCB, a FastAPI backend with a test suite, and a web dashboard with optional Firebase mirroring.

At Vasant Valley School, attendance is marked manually by class teachers, latecomers wait in a morning "late line" for manual strike marking, student exits run on paper sign-out sheets, and borrowing a laptop needs a paper chit signed across several flights of stairs. This project prototypes a…

The KiCad project lives in the Kushal-Sachdeva78/RFID repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

RFID: common questions

What microcontroller does the RFID use?

The RFID is built around the MODULE_ESP32_DEVKIT_V1, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the RFID PCB?

The RFID measures 103.5 × 158 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RFID?

8 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RFID design files?

From the Kushal-Sachdeva78/RFID repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RFID design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Kushal-Sachdeva78 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the RFID 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.
