The source .PCB and .SCH files appear to be included, but there are no notes and I couldn&#8217;t determine which tool they are for (if you know please comment &#8211; my best guess is OrCAD). They also include pdf printouts of the schematic and and layout. The Layout pdf is reproduced to the right. However, it doesn&#8217;t show any of the silk and only appears to be the top copper layer. I therefore generated the image above from the gerbers that are also included.<\/p>\n<p>The gerbers also don&#8217;t use a naming convention I&#8217;m familiar with, but from what I can tell the WROOM32 is a 4 layer board. I&#8217;m kind of surprised that they didn&#8217;t try and squeeze everything onto 2 layers, like they do with the esp1. Will be interesting to see if the esp32 also forces me to start doing 4 layer designs.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, the BOM and schematic are below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/the-esp32-wroom32-design\/wroom32_bom\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3636\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3636\" src=\"http:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/wroom32_bom.png\" alt=\"wroom32_bom\" width=\"398\" height=\"354\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/the-esp32-wroom32-design\/wroom32_sch\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3637\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3637\" src=\"http:\/\/41j.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/wroom32_sch.png\" alt=\"wroom32_sch\" width=\"1035\" height=\"647\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Espressif kindly provide the schematics and layout files for the esp32 based WROOM32.
