About the Esp dsc PCB

Esp dsc is an open source ESP8266 PCB design by synfinatic, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 53.2 × 35.3 mm, with 19 components from 13 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family. Other key parts include the MCP1825S-3302E/DB. By type, the board carries 9 resistors, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors and 2 switches.

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

From the project

Low Cost ESP12E Digital Setting Circles

Low cost alternative to my original Digital Setting Circles project the Teensy-DSC. This new design uses the cheap ESP-12E/F WiFi enabled microcontroller which saves about 60% of the original price (~$40 vs ~$100).

I'm also planing to include the necessary .STL files so you can 3D print the appropriate enclosure for the board.

More information about this project is available on my website.

Esp dsc: common questions

What microcontroller does the Esp dsc use?

The Esp dsc is built around the ESP-12E, from the ESP8266 family.

How big is the Esp dsc PCB?

The Esp dsc measures 53.2 × 35.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Esp dsc?

19 components, from 13 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 Esp dsc design files?

From the synfinatic/esp-dsc repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Esp dsc design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which synfinatic chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Esp dsc without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP8266 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
