Overview
Dgo lights is an open-source printed circuit board by smithjacobj, from the smithjacobj/esphome-configs repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 66.7 × 49.3 mm with 39 parts on 27 nets, routed with 243 tracks and 6 vias.
It is built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02-H4. Its parts include 11 capacitors, 7 resistors and 6 ICs. It belongs with the ESP32 and RISC-V boards of this library.
Main components
1README
hardware-dev/2ch-dop-light-controller/README.mdThe files contained here are plans for a 2-channel 5v light controller using an ESP32-C3. They were created in the free and open-source KiCad
Known issues:
- The solder lugs for the outputs are slightly too small for the tinned "YETOR" connectors listed below. I ended up just whittling a little solder and some strands off before insertion.
- The footprint for the fuse mounts are not accurate and require some bending. The fuse mounts used are these, which hold APM/ATM/"mini-ATO" style blade fuses.
- These fuses also don't come in 2.5A, so I ended up using 2A fuses. It's unlikely you'll overdraw with 3 strings per channel; 1 30-light string draws only about 600mA peak. It's more to kill power if something shorts out.
- The current design has no reverse polarity protection. Check and check again!
- The "YETOR" connector wire colors are opposite the polarity for the light strings I connected, so do your due diligence on determining polarity there as well.
There is also an STL file, 7mm_cable_gland.stl, which I created and printed in a urethane resin to create water-resistant fittings for the project box for the "YETOR Waterproof Connectors 2 Wire" and power cord to enter through. It's set for a 3/4" hole (large enough to fit the low voltage connector heads through).

Questions
How big is the Dgo lights PCB?
It measures 66.7 × 49.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Dgo lights use?
39 parts, built around the ESP32-C3-WROOM-02-H4. 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 Dgo lights KiCad files?
From the smithjacobj/esphome-configs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware-dev/2ch-dop-light-controller/dgo_lights.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware-dev/2ch-dop-light-controller/dgo_lights.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Dgo lights 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).
