3 open source boards using the 4N25
Real designs built with the 4N25, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the 4N25
What boards using the 4N25 are built for
4N25: common questions
Where can I find a 4N25 reference design?
Each of the 3 boards on this page is a real design using the 4N25. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the 4N25 use?
Most are built on ESP32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the 4N25?
The median is 100 × 80 mm, and 67% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the 4N25?
By GitHub stars, LTC3 Charge Controller by psas, with 19 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the 4N25 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
