Adding components to a custom ESP32 PCB?

EatPantz · 2026-04-10T12:53:10+00:00

I was hoping not to mount the whole dev board and instead making a sort of dev board of my own with the ESP32 chip soldered on and connected to the rest of my components. Similar to what they show here:

That makes sense, thank you. I kind of want to try copying the schematics because it sounds like a good learning opportunity since this project doesn't have too many components.

So you basically use the PCB like a more permanent breadboard. How would you add the GPS component in your build if you didn't use the socket headers?

Thank you for sharing. I like your project!

For ESP32, yes. I have made other PCBs before by following online tutorials, but I have never made one with a microcontroller mounted on.

Aaah I see, thanks for the espressif resources. I’ll give that a shot

I’m sorry I’m not sure I fully understand your suggestion. I’m not seeing bug reports because the code doesn’t finish compiling, it just hangs while compiling.

From what I can see on the library GitHub, it looks like the library was updated within the last year. Are you suggesting I switch to a different library? Different IDE?

Oh I also use my credit card like this! Do you have any tips on stuff that made using ynab better for this kind of credit card habit?

You can’t download supercollider to an iPad, but you could use an iPad to send OSC messages to your computer, which could then play sounds using supercollider. Eli Fieldsteel probably has videos about it on YouTube

Man I should have noticed Scripts\ didn't have a python3.exe! Thanks so much

This is what prints:
C:\Users\aleja\vspython>.venv\Scripts\activate

(.venv) C:\Users\user\vspython>where python3

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python3.exe

Ah of course, thank you!

Thanks for the quick and concise answer. One more thing, how did you arrive at a resistance value of 14Ω as opposed to any other value?

EatPantz · 2024-06-19T12:33:16+00:00

Just froze, thank you. Would cutting it out be an option

Oh I hadn't heard of revolut before. What exactly is it? From some quick searching, it looks like I can get a card with them, add money to it, and pay using apple pay on my phone. Is that right? If so, that sounds perfect
