About the NotSoLite-S3 PCB

NotSoLite-S3 is an open source ESP32 PCB design by zeankundev, published on GitHub. It is a 6-layer board measuring 25 × 50 mm, with 48 components from 36 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-S3R8, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the TP4057, MIC5205-3.3YM5 and W25Q32JVZP. By type, the board carries 18 capacitors, 11 resistors, 5 diodes, 4 ICs, 4 connectors and 2 switches.

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

From the project

A collection and an archive of KiCad projects I made. Contains projects from 2023 - 2024.

- Pico2040 and Pico2350 series. These are my self-designed boards oriented mostly around ARM microcontrollers. especially the RP2040 and the RP2350 - LiPower, BreadPower and LCDRucksack. Those are two board categories that I like to classify them as being "useless". LiPower being the overengineered version of the TP4056 charger, BreadPower being the most generic breadboard power supply. Of course, this was designed before I even know USB-C PD. LCDRucksack is just literally a clone of the LCD backpacks out there, but with castellated holes. - ProyekOPSI2023 was the board I designed for the…

NotSoLite-S3: common questions

What microcontroller does the NotSoLite-S3 use?

The NotSoLite-S3 is built around the ESP32-S3R8, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the NotSoLite-S3 PCB?

The NotSoLite-S3 measures 25 × 50 mm, has 6 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the NotSoLite-S3?

48 components, from 36 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 NotSoLite-S3 design files?

From the zeankundev/boards 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 NotSoLite-S3 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the NotSoLite-S3 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.
