Overview

Gauge driver is an open-source printed circuit board by bookofthefuture, from the bookofthefuture/ev-gauge repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 18 parts on 48 nets.

It is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E, SN65HVD230D and LM2675M-3.3. Its parts include 6 capacitors, 5 resistors, 3 ICs, 1 diode and 1 connector. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards and the ESP32 boards of this library.

ev-gauge

SoC, motor amps, motor/pack temp, 12V aux voltage, car mode and Zombieverter error data over CANbus, on a single mode-aware display. For ESP32.

Copy ev_gauge/secrets.h.example to ev_gauge/secrets.h and fill in your home WiFi SSID/password before flashing - the gauge runs its own gaugedriver AP and joins that network at the same time, so OTA updates work both standalone and from your desk.

Questions

What parts does the Gauge driver use?

18 parts, built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E, SN65HVD230D and LM2675M-3.3. 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 Gauge driver KiCad files?

From the bookofthefuture/ev-gauge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/gauge-driver/gauge-driver.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/gauge-driver/gauge-driver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gauge driver design in my own project?

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