From the project
An ESP32-C3 dev board with more sensors and features then you could know what to do with
A feature-packed ESP32-C3 development board built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02-N4, designed to be the last board you need for any project — smart home device, RC car, wearable, or anything else you can dream up.
The big pitch: pull a single-cell LiPo or Li-ion from an old vape, plug it into the JST PH connector, and go. The board handles charging, protection, and fuel gauging — no external circuitry needed.

PCB CANNONBALL: common questions
What microcontroller does the PCB CANNONBALL use?
The PCB CANNONBALL is built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the PCB CANNONBALL?
The PCB CANNONBALL measures 25.6 × 23.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the PCB CANNONBALL?
58 components, from 32 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the PCB CANNONBALL design files?
From the user-will/PCB_CANNONBALL repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the PCB CANNONBALL design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with user-will. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the PCB CANNONBALL 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.
