Building and running the device

  1. Manufacture I2C/Power hub using files from cad/i2c_header_x5. Don't forget 3.2K pull-up resistors.
  2. 3D print enclosure using files from cad/enclosure.
  3. Apply tint film to the display module.
  4. Assemble the device. Select appropriate screw diameter and length for each hole. Connect hub 5V to VIN in ESP32, ground to ground, 3.3V to 3.3V, SDA/SCL to appropriate ESP32 pins. Connect every component to the hub.
  5. Install ESP-IDF v4.4 - https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/release/v4.4 .
  6. Clone repository and init submodules recursively.
  7. Copy main/secrets.h from main/secrets.h.example and set your own setting inside.
  8. Using instructions from EPS-IDF, build and flash the firmware.

Changing settings after flashing firmware

  1. To change settings after flash, connect the device to power and press 'SET' button on the bottom.
  2. Device will create a WiFi AP with SSID looking like ntpclock-XXXXXXXX.
  3. The password will be shown scrolling on display.
  4. Connect to AP and open http://192.168.4.1 .

Questions

How big is the I2c header x5 PCB?

It measures 36.8 × 16.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the I2c header x5 use?

12 parts. 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 I2c header x5 KiCad files?

From the chudsaviet/ntpclock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cad/i2c_header_x5/i2c_header_x5.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the I2c header x5 design in my own project?

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