MaxBox open-source hardware

This repository is for the 3D design files, KiCad PCB design/Gerber files, and ESP-IDF firmware files to produce a MaxBox control box. This takes the form of a 100mm diameter circular PCB with a Mifare antenna, buck converter capable of up to 36V DC input, RGB LEDs, high speed CAN bus transceiver, an ESP32-WROVER castellated module incorporating a Bluetooth and WiFi antenna, and GPIO to connect buttons and relays.

Questions

How big is the Maxbox PCB?

It measures 71.2 × 66.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Maxbox use?

110 parts, built around the ESP32-WROOM-32E-N4, SN65HVD230D, LMR33630ARNXT and MFRC522. 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 Maxbox KiCad files?

From the ios-cv/maxbox repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/v1/maxbox/maxbox.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/v1/maxbox/maxbox.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Maxbox design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the AGPL-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).
