ByteBridge a USB to UART breakout board with more power.

Features:

  • CP2102 bridge
  • AMS1117 capable of delivering 1A

Why

In 2025, dealing with Micro/Mini-USB is a pain. Additionally, most flash boards do not deliver enough current to power a stock ESP32, making to process more difficult than it needs to be.

Questions

How big is the Bytebridge PCB?

It measures 26 × 38 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.56 mm thick.

What parts does the Bytebridge use?

24 parts, built around the CP2102N-A02-GQFN28R, AMS1117-3.3, RK73H1ETTP1001F and LTST-C191GKT. 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 Bytebridge KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Bytebridge 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).
