README
README.mdThis board was designed to facilitate Bluetooth control of an HDMI video device to display simple pixel graphics for playing the game snake. The design allows 3-bit color, one for each of RGB, due to constraints of the ESP32-C3 microcontroller's available GPIO pins. Differential impedances are considered for the USB data lines and the HDMI TMDS lines, and length matching is considered for the R, G, B, and IDCLK lines driving the HDMI transmitter. The board is meant to be powered from a USB 2.0 port. A DigiKey list of parts is available here. The block design is shown below and a PDF of the schematic is available in the repo under kicad/hdmi_snake.pdf.
This repo includes the block design and full KiCAD design with local symbols, footprints, datasheets, and 3D models. Images of the board model are shown below.
PCB design final project for ETLS 684 at the University of St. Thomas MSEE program.

Questions
How big is the Hdmi snake PCB?
It measures 86.3 × 25 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.58 mm thick.
What parts does the Hdmi snake use?
62 parts, built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02-N4, FT231XS-U, TPSM82821SILR and TLV75801PDBVR-MS. 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 Hdmi snake KiCad files?
From the Ajstros/hdmi-snake repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/hdmi_snake/hdmi_snake.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/hdmi_snake/HDMI.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hdmi snake design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Ajstros before reusing the design.
