Overview

PinguBot is an open-source printed circuit board by Sartalan, from the Sartalan/My-PinguBot repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 96.4 × 104.8 mm with 26 parts on 56 nets, routed with 155 tracks and 0 vias.

It is built around the ESP32-DEVKITC-VE and LM386. Its parts include 6 capacitors, 5 resistors, 4 ICs, 3 connectors and 1 diode. It belongs with the ESP32 boards of this library.

PinguBot

A simple penguin robot

Penguin robot is not defined yet, his behaviour is not defined and the technology's for build him already are not decided.

The goal in a future is to rewrite this README with the correct information about it so i can build him. Right now i'm trying to get inspiration for build it, if something like that is posible in first place.

English isn't my native language, so if someone in a future is reading it, i'm so sorry; I'm still improving my English level daily.

For now the branch tree will be like this:

Branches

  • There will be one branch called "main" which will have all the principal hardware content of the penguin robot, as the 3D design, the electronic circuit and the mathematic theory.
  • There will be one branch called "Web" which will have a web/blog where I'll be writing about the progress of the robot.

For now that's the way I will work on my project.

Questions

How big is the PinguBot PCB?

It measures 96.4 × 104.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PinguBot use?

26 parts, built around the ESP32-DEVKITC-VE and LM386. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the PinguBot KiCad files?

From the Sartalan/My-PinguBot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Circuit - KiCad/PinguBot/PinguBot.kicad_pcb and its schematic Circuit - KiCad/Device/Device/Device.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PinguBot design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Sartalan before reusing the design.
