About the Wingglobe PCB

Wingglobe is an open source ESP32 PCB design by newtontriumphant, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 93 × 100 mm, with 28 components from 12 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the XIAO-ESP32-S3-DIP, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the HDC1080. By type, the board carries 16 diodes, 4 resistors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors, 2 capacitors and 1 transistor.

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

From the project

Autonomous Weather-Telling Snow Globe with a custom propulsion mechanism, PWM control, backlighting, E-INK display, support for my existing ecosystem of temperature sensors, and a changeable theme. Entry for Hack Club Blueprint's Christmas Competition.

I. Introduction! II. About This Project - Why I Chose To Make It! III. About This Project - What Is It?! IV. Project Images And Technical Documentation! V. Notes For Reviewers! VI. Final Remarks!

Heyo! Thanks for reviewing my project! I'm zsharpminor (a.k.a. funkeudo), co-creator of FiddleStein, and this is WingGlobe, which is a (TL;DR) fully autonomous Weather-Telling Snow Globe with a custom propulsion mechanism, PWM control, backlighting, E-INK display, support for my existing ecosystem of temperature sensors, and a changeable theme. This project is being created with the support of Hack…

Wingglobe: common questions

What microcontroller does the Wingglobe use?

The Wingglobe is built around the XIAO-ESP32-S3-DIP, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Wingglobe PCB?

The Wingglobe measures 93 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Wingglobe?

28 components, from 12 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 Wingglobe design files?

From the newtontriumphant/wingglobe 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 Wingglobe design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Wingglobe 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.
