Overview

32bit-5v is an open-source printed circuit board by bread-modular, from the bread-modular/bread-modular repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 30.5 × 68.6 mm with 61 parts on 76 nets, routed with 529 tracks and 69 vias.

It is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8, ES8388 and MCP6002-I/SN, with the AP2112K-3.3TRG1, K2-1808SN-A4SW-01 and CL31A107MQHNNNE among its other parts. Its parts include 23 capacitors, 22 resistors, 4 ICs, 3 switches and 1 diode. It belongs with the audio and music boards and the ESP32 boards of this library.

Bread Modular

An open-source hardware modular synthesizer format designed to be minimalistic and cost-effective: USB-powered, breadboard-friendly, with analog/digital modules and MIDI alongside CV & Gate.

Find your starting point

KiCad quick start

sh
python3 -B opt/kicad-tools/kicad_tools.py --help
python3 -B opt/kicad-tools/kicad_tools.py doctor
python3 -B opt/kicad-tools/kicad_tools.py export --help

Python + installed KiCad CLI; no extra packages for core tools. Private checks, Gerber/BOM/CPL export, native netlist helpers and read-only sourcing have distinct requirements and safety boundaries. Exports are not electrical/release/order approval; keep frozen module scripts and production designs untouched. Historical opt/kicad-jlcpcb and .agents/skills/{kicad-workflow,jlcpcb-assembly} resolve through relative compatibility symlinks.

Agents: start with the KiCad workflow skill or assembly skill, then actual CLI help.

Bread Modular

  • Modular design: Just like Eurorack.
  • USB-powered: It can be portable.
  • Minimal design: Cost-effective.
  • Modular MIDI support: Communicate between modules; CV & Gate still supported.
  • Analog and digital signal paths: It’s your choice.
  • Diverse built-in modules: A wide range of pre-designed modules.
  • Configurable digital modules: Voice and CV using AtTiny 1616 or ESP32.
  • Fully open source: Schematics, PCB designs and code.
  • Ease of customization: Create modules tailored to your needs.
  • No case required: Use directly on a breadboard or a simple base module.

Questions

How big is the 32bit-5v PCB?

It measures 30.5 × 68.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 32bit-5v use?

61 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8, ES8388, MCP6002-I/SN and AP2112K-3.3TRG1. 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 32bit-5v KiCad files?

From the bread-modular/bread-modular repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is modules/32bit-5v/32bit-5v.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 32bit-5v design in my own project?

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