About the LIM-Vario PCB
LIM-Vario is an open source ESP32 PCB design by loyermael, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a board, with 11 components from 10 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ESP32-WROOM-32E, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the BMP388, ESP32-S3-WROOM-2, PAM8403D, LM2596S-5 and MAX-M10S. By type, the board carries 7 ICs, 2 connectors and 2 switches.
It belongs with the displays & leds, sensors and audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
Open source glider variometer - ESP32-S3 round display
Open-source inertial variometer & flight instrument for gliders
A dual-ESP32 soaring instrument pairing a Waveshare ESP32-S3 2.1″ round IPS display (480×480) with a dedicated sensor/calculator unit — inertial AHRS + Kalman variometer, total-energy compensation, thermal assistant, SD flight logging and a WiFi companion app.

LIM-Vario: common questions
What microcontroller does the LIM-Vario use?
The LIM-Vario is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E, from the ESP32 family.
How many components are on the LIM-Vario?
11 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 LIM-Vario design files?
From the loyermael/LIM-Vario repository on GitHub, which has the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the LIM-Vario design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which loyermael chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the LIM-Vario 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.
