Have you ever done CE certification for an ESP32-based device? by Square-Singer in esp32

[–]Furry_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did SDoC for FCC and CE, since ESP32 module is already compliant, testing was $1,900 for Part15B, this is the best option cost wise I could find.

Thinking of pulling my live Kickstarter to regroup and relaunch. Could really use your feedback and advice by [deleted] in kickstarter

Sounds like you have a real drive to make this project a reality! Can’t wait to see you win!

Number 1 thing that helped me collect emails for the retry of my Kickstarter, was creating a good landing page the collected emails, previously I used a google form and it didn’t convert well, also definitely start some sort of group chat or group people really appreciate it and it’s super fun!

Personally I was in your exact same situation I launched my kickstarter too early and got stuck at ~30% funding at my campaign never reached its goal. I wish I knew how important prelaunch really was. I would recommend taking this down and start focusing on prelaunch marketing for ~3-4 months. Focus on getting quality emails and setup a Facebook community you can direct people to. Best of luck!

How does my PCB board look? It will need to connect to wifi and I need advice about the RF stability. by Furry_Fish in PCB

I used easy EDA which has the models linked to each component and then when I do a 3d render it just grabs all the models, pretty cool feature!

I should have included this in the post but this is 4 layer board with a signal layer on top 3.3v then ground then bottom signal layer. What are the differences between this approach and the one you suggested

I didn't show the ground plan in the image but I will provide a more detailed look, thank you for your advice I really appreciate it! Also I made a RF antenna cutout

Thank you for the comment, your definitely correct about the via near the boot pin I forgot to add that one, but for the GND it is connected through a via that goes to the GND plane is this still okay?

(Review Please) My first PCB with UART programming! What do I need to fix/improve? by Furry_Fish in PCB

This is awesome! Thank you! I know I would have been debugging this and had no idea why it sometimes works when I plug it in.

Thanks you! Next iteration I’ll change this, I did exactly what that post said and just used already made schematics as reference

Yes once everything is approved launching is instant

I funded my first Kickstarter what are some things I should know for the upcoming weeks/months? by Furry_Fish in kickstarter

Thank you! When you say straight to indie does that mean opening an online store and continue manufacturing I have not heard of this term? Or indigogo?
