R2AirVlad commented 1 year ago

Hi!

Can you please explain what type of ESP32 module is used for your PSB design?

I have makes PSBs from Gerber from this folder

https://github.com/sh123/esp32_loraprs/tree/master/extras/schematics/gerber

...and ordered this ESP32 Wroom 32 - 38pins modules, like this

https://github.com/sh123/esp32_loraprs/blob/master/extras/images/esp32_38pin.jpg

but the rows of contacts is too narrow (actually the module rows is wider).

Yes, there are boards of different pin numbers 30 and 38 (these are configured with solder pads), also boards with different PCB width, the narrow is on the right, I also have some wider boards, had to modify pins a little bit to fit.

Search for NodeMCU-32S, for example

Check for distance between board pinouts and module, they must be closer. I'll also update readme/wiki.

@Fotr0 , added separate pcb and gerber files for 25mm wide esp32 socket boards, with _wide suffix in file names, did not test.
