  • Reset and Boot buttons on board
  • Integrated PCB antenna
  • USB ESD protection
  • Chip: ESP32-C3FH4

Questions

How big is the ESP32-C3 breakout PCB?

It measures 45.7 × 21.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ESP32-C3 breakout use?

32 parts, built around the ESP32-C3, BAT120C and USB4105-GF-A. 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 ESP32-C3 breakout KiCad files?

From the TadeasFrycak/esp32-c3 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ESP32-C3_breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic ESP32-C3_breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ESP32-C3 breakout design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
