KiCad 7 ESP32 PCB Design Full Tutorial - made by morten laboratories iot-thing 

I cannot stress enough how good this tutorial is !!! Thanks a lot.

This is so good! would be great to see more board designs in full like this!! can learn a lot from it

I really enjoyed this and learned a lot. Thank you!

really amazing I am waiting your next discussion really thanks

This is so good! 👍

Thanks for sharing. There is a great feature called "Fillet line" you can use on your edge cut so you don't need to spend so much time getting smooth PCB corners manually. Select more than one edge cut line and right click and you find it. It even more useful if you don't have rectangular board to start with.

Brilliant instructional video

the video is really grateful for me to learn something which is more useful thanks for the video

Thank you very much!

Nice. Thank you!

Nice video, thanks :)

thank you !

Very nice video, thanks. It would have been nice, if you have told a little about why, the DTR/RTS transistor setup, the multitude of capacitors. That would have made the video even better :)

I like it :)

Thanks, I learned how to align texts. 🙂I would advice you: To align parts/footprints : display a smaller grid and set cursor to "Display full-windows crosshair" at the end of routing: Use tools > cleanup track,vias DRC: Exclude "normal" warnings to visualize abnormal warns and errs. Create Gerber files in a dedicated sub-directory for the manufacturer.

Usefull,thx

great video learned alot... Only thing missing is how do you chose the values of the caps and resistors? Also with the RGB led why didnt you use an addressable led as it would have given you back 2 additional pins?

Thanks!

Thank you very nice tutorial. I have one question though. You initially wanted to have one interlayer as a ground plane and one power plane but at the end of the video you set them all to be a ground planes. Why is that?

Why did you label RxD TX and TxD RX (@34:48)? And swap them at the ESP32 (@1:10:58)? Great video, BTW!

My man's is recording this tutorial at 4am

Amazing video! When I go to assign foot prints there were only a few pre-populated - i'm running a recent 8.0 version of kicad, is there a step I missed that helps it to automatically assign more of the footprints?

Hello, thanks for this video. Please I would like to know how you did to determine the footprint of the “Fuse” value?

Nice design, did you order the PCB? Is the design tested? As I'll be using esp usb part as a reference for my design

When you labeled the wires from the CP2104 TXD and RXD pins, you mentioned that they will be connected to the RXD and TXD pins, respectively, of the esp32, thus you labeled them RX and TX. Then, when you copied the two labeled lines and connected them to the esp32, you connected the line labeled TX to the esp32 RXD pin, and the line labeled RX to the esp32 TXD pin. Thus, you have: CP2104 TXD - line labeled RX - esp32 TXD, and CP2104 RXD - line labeled TX - esp32 RXD. Is this correct? My understanding is that, typically, between components, TX goes to RX, and RX goes to TX.

Are the I2C pins correct? Aren't they supposed to be pin 33 and 36 respectively?

Hi, please I would like to know how you go about downloading your 3D models of components not available on KiCAD

It seems a nice tutorial. I tried to follow it until I had a problem about 1h31m: I realized you changed all capacitor and resistor names when you went into "Edit Symbol Fields..." because they did not match your previos work in the schematic. None of the resistor names and values match the ones you made before in the video.

Hello, the F2 Fuse footprint part is not in my library, as far as I can see, you created it yourself, but I could not find that part on the internet. Where can I find?

I want to know sir, can this circuit design able to convert to ESP 32 CAM?

Hello sir, I downloaded the files. But when i try showing the pcb in 3d model on my computer, the 3d models of the fuse and capacitor are abscent. I added the library pretty in the folder, i tried using the same method as you. But i did not manage to show the fuse, neither the same 3d file name. Can i get the files somewhere of the 3d models you had ? Thank you for your time.

Re: UMH3N at ~37:00... DTR -> Base (Q1B) & Emitter (Q1A)... RTS -> Base (Q1A) & Collector (Q1B)? This is not as per esp32 devkitc_v4-sch? RTS should go to the emitter of Q1B...? Also, these are normally 10kΩ resistors, however UMH3N has only 4.7kΩ...?

Hey, nice Tut. But, why are you know witch one connects to others? I ame a hobbyist and no Electronics-wonder. Where are the "standarts" for such a circuit? P$: i ame german speaking....

I couldn't find this element in the library. How can I find it? It gives an error. fuse 2

KiCad Stable Release Current Version: 8.0.2

Why do we use a converter? Sir, please explain in detail.

Can i publish a version based on yours on LinkedIn plataform, as a learning experience, making reference to you of course ?

Some of the issues you addressed in this video are resolved in version 8. Please redo this video with the new version.

What is SW1 doing is it some kind of Enable, Reset button

Hello. You have incorrectly connected the transistor to the DTR signal. It needs to be turned over

what is 3.3VA used for ? instead of 3.3V

what about esp32-s3 wroom 2 variant?

I gotta say you did an amazing job with the video. I have already made a few version of your board in the video. Just wondering about the resistor ratings, what sort of specs should i be looking for. Also what about the capacitors voltages, how do i determine that? Just trying to put a digikey order together. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks again for the awesome Video!

Hejsa - gætter på, at du er dansker. Anyhoo, et par forslag: 1. Tilføj drill/layer origin og brug det ved Gerber generering (eksta bonus er, at så kan du også fræse printet på fx. en billig CNC3018) 2. Tilføj et folder navn, før du genererer Gerber: så ender de i en underfolder og holder dit projekt rent. Fed video. Hygge, HB

It would appear your link to pcbway has an error

Did you ever put power flags? I didnt see in the video. In my case KiCad always wants power flags to proceed.

I just found out the usb-c connector wasn't put in my cart. It looks like a wrong digikey part number. This is the closest match i could find 2073-USB4105-GF-ACT-ND or this one with less pins and cheaper 2073-USB4125-GF-ACT-ND

I had a nightmare, that i had forgot to order a component. It came true. Absolutely horrible!
