  • Thanks. These tips help a lot.

    I wouldn’t say that the goal is to learn. I have implemented the design on a Dev board. I also designed a breakout board which worked well. I am now considering just trying to do a new layout in a smaller form factor.

    There are bigger system integration tasks that I need to address before I can spend my resources on learning ESP32’s board layout. That is why I wanted to derisk my design by building on top of a known good design or at least find out the best practices of board layout.


  • My goal is to make a dev board with a custom layout. So if I can use ESP32-DevKitC as a starting point then I can focus on the board layout having some confidence that the component selection and the routing is done correctly. That’ll have save me some design iterations.

    Maybe you are right that it is simple enough to recreate it and I just need to give it a try.
