ESPower

ESPower is a motherboard for ESP8266-01 with voltage regulator, voltage protection and Li-Ion battery charger integrated.

It has been designed to run off intermittent 5V USB power supply but it can also be powerred by a small 6V Solar panels. Low power consumption has been kept in mind.

The narrow form factor has been designed to be embedded in small upcycled objects like used glass bottles.

Features

  • Li-Ion battery charger with battery protection (TP4056).
  • Intensity of battery recharge can be selected between 250mA and 1A with solder jumpers.
  • Power path to select if the board is always powered by the battery or is also powered by VCC when an external power supply is provided.
  • Voltage detector to properly switch off the ESP8266 when the battery voltage is too low for proper operation. This prevent crashes of the ESP when the battery is drained.
  • Voltage detector signal is exported so it can be used by any attached components, like boost-buck converters to shut them down if the battery voltage is too low.

Manufacturing

See directory Gerber/ for production files and bill of materials.

Versions

Version 2 has been slightly improved with a smaller form-factor, Tantalum capacitors to reduce thickness and pull-up resistors on GPIOs to ensure proper boot of the ESP.

Questions

How big is the ESPower PCB?

It measures 63.9 × 15 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ESPower use?

38 parts, built around the DW01A, SPX3819M5-L-3-3, TP4056 and TPS3839G33DBZ. 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 ESPower KiCad files?

From the nagius/ESPower repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/ESPower.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/ESPower.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ESPower design in my own project?

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