Overview
Loriques is an open-source printed circuit board by skot, from the skot/Loriques repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence. It is a 6-layer board of 144.8 × 106.7 mm with 122 parts on 97 nets, routed with 688 tracks and 674 vias.
It is built around the E22-900M30S, ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8 and MCP73871EV, with the SN74LVC244AN, HDC3020DEFR and TPS22975DSG among its other parts. Its parts include 42 capacitors, 29 resistors, 11 ICs, 4 diodes and 4 connectors. It belongs with the radio and wireless and power boards and the ESP32 boards of this library.

Loriques is a solar powered Meshtastic LoRa gateway. Warning: Loriques is very much a work in progress.

- Designed to work with a small 6V solar panel. Like the Voltaic 6 Watt Panel
- EBYTE E22-900M30S 30dBm LoRa tranciever
- Untested; I picked this because it's in the Meshtastic supported LoRa ISM band, and it has one of the highest listed output power of LoRa modules.
- Selecting a good high-gain antenna for this module is TBD.
- ESP32S3 WiFi and BLE SoC
- OLED Display
- Holders for three 18650 Lithium Ion batteries
- MCP73871 Solar charge controller
- Optimized for solar charging and load sharing, but not a "true MPPT" controller. More info from Adafruit
- MAX17263 Battery fuel Guage
- HDC3020 Temperature and humidity sensor
- This is helpful for monitoring how waterproof your outdoor enclosure is.
- Very low noise, filtered 3.3V voltage regulator
- PCB designed to fit into the Polycase ML-46F Outdoor NEMA Enclosure
- ESP32 Firmware is not started yet!
- There are some big challenges here, like getting the ESP32S3 and it's radios in, and out of a low power state.

Questions
How big is the Loriques PCB?
It measures 144.8 × 106.7 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Loriques use?
122 parts, built around the E22-900M30S, ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, MCP73871EV and SN74LVC244AN. 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 Loriques KiCad files?
From the skot/Loriques repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Loriques.kicad_pcb and its schematic Loriques.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Loriques design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
