Fume-ex

Fume-ex is a DIY fume extractor that i built for myself it pulls soldering fumes away from my desk space so i don't have to breathe them in, it runs on 12V DC and has two main parts, a custom PCB and a 12V fan. The PCB has an ESP-12E on it, so the plan is to control it from a phone as well, but not for now.

Working

Fume-ex has 2 buttons on the board, UP and DOWN button as the name says, the UP button increases the speed of the fan and the DOWN button decreases the speed of the fan, the board also has 4 LEDs which change their color according to the speed of the fan.

Questions

How big is the Fume ex PCB?

It measures 106.9 × 42.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fume ex use?

56 parts, built around the ESP-12E, TPS563202SDRL, AMS1117-3.3 and SS34. 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 Fume ex KiCad files?

From the t2ofaced/Fume-ex repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/fume-ex.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/fume-ex.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fume ex 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).
