  +title: "PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board"
  +url: null
  +body: """
    Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.\n
    \n
    This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.\n
    \n
    It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I’ve mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.\n
    \n
    The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on `J3` - `J8`) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.\n
    \n
    At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For maintenance reasons I’ve tried to keep it simple and the component count low.\n
    \n
    Mains power is supplied from `J1` and being fed to the motors via the relays. `PS1` converts the line voltage to +5V DC for the relay coils and some auxiliary components. The switching regulator `U2` steps that down to +3.3V for the MCU `U1` and IO Expander `U3`.\n
    \n
    The board size is mostly constrained by the preexisting mounting holes which gives me plenty of space to work with even with just a 2 layer board. The enclosure containing the mounts is installed indoors and is finger-pokey-tight.\n
    \n
    Jumper `JP1` allows me to supply the MCU devkit daughter board with +5V, should I ever replace it with a different one. Similarly `J11` exists for future expansion.\n
    \n
    `J10` mounts another daughter board (not included in review) facilitating communications with the weather station. Should the station ever need to be replaced I can swap in a new, matching board.\n
    \n
    There aren’t any high-speed connections on the board. The fastest one is likely the SPI connection to the LCD controller but I can slow it down in firmware if necessary.\n
    \n
    Regarding the DNP components: There are only 5 motors installed at the moment so I will cover the sixth slot with a piece of plastic for now. `R1` and `R2` will only be populated if the 10k pullup resistors integrated into the MCU are insufficient for typical baud rates.\n
    \n
    While it is not the first board I’ve designed, it is the first one carrying mains power (European grid 230V@50Hz). I’m using 2 oz copper to accommodate the motor currents within reasonably wide traces.\n
    \n
    In case anyone is interested, it will be running the ESPHome firmware to easily integrate with the Home-Assistant smart home solution. This also pushes firmware maintenance from me onto the ESPHome devs.\n

  +title: "PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board"
  +url: null
  +body: """
    Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.\n
    \n
    This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.\n
    \n
    It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I’ve mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.\n
    \n
    The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on `J3` - `J8`) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.\n
    \n
    At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For maintenance reasons I’ve tried to keep it simple and the component count low.\n
    \n
    Mains power is supplied from `J1` and being fed to the motors via the relays. `PS1` converts the line voltage to +5V DC for the relay coils and some auxiliary components. The switching regulator `U2` steps that down to +3.3V for the MCU `U1` and IO Expander `U3`.\n
    \n
    The board size is mostly constrained by the preexisting mounting holes which gives me plenty of space to work with even with just a 2 layer board. The enclosure containing the mounts is installed indoors and is finger-pokey-tight.\n
    \n
    Jumper `JP1` allows me to supply the MCU devkit daughter board with +5V, should I ever replace it with a different one. Similarly `J11` exists for future expansion.\n
    \n
    `J10` mounts another daughter board (not included in review) facilitating communications with the weather station. Should the station ever need to be replaced I can swap in a new, matching board.\n
    \n
    There aren’t any high-speed connections on the board. The fastest one is likely the SPI connection to the LCD controller but I can slow it down in firmware if necessary.\n
    \n
    Regarding the DNP components: There are only 5 motors installed at the moment so I will cover the sixth slot with a piece of plastic for now. `R1` and `R2` will only be populated if the 10k pullup resistors integrated into the MCU are insufficient for typical baud rates.\n
    \n
    While it is not the first board I’ve designed, it is the first one carrying mains power (European grid 230V@50Hz). I’m using 2 oz copper to accommodate the motor currents within reasonably wide traces.\n
    \n
    In case anyone is interested, it will be running the ESPHome firmware to easily integrate with the Home-Assistant smart home solution. This also pushes firmware maintenance from me onto the ESPHome devs.\n

    +title: "PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.\n
      \n
      This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.\n
      \n
      It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I’ve mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.\n
      \n
      The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on `J3` - `J8`) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.\n
      \n
      At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For maintenance reasons I’ve tried to keep it simple and the component count low.\n
      \n
      Mains power is supplied from `J1` and being fed to the motors via the relays. `PS1` converts the line voltage to +5V DC for the relay coils and some auxiliary components. The switching regulator `U2` steps that down to +3.3V for the MCU `U1` and IO Expander `U3`.\n
      \n
      The board size is mostly constrained by the preexisting mounting holes which gives me plenty of space to work with even with just a 2 layer board. The enclosure containing the mounts is installed indoors and is finger-pokey-tight.\n
      \n
      Jumper `JP1` allows me to supply the MCU devkit daughter board with +5V, should I ever replace it with a different one. Similarly `J11` exists for future expansion.\n
      \n
      `J10` mounts another daughter board (not included in review) facilitating communications with the weather station. Should the station ever need to be replaced I can swap in a new, matching board.\n
      \n
      There aren’t any high-speed connections on the board. The fastest one is likely the SPI connection to the LCD controller but I can slow it down in firmware if necessary.\n
      \n
      Regarding the DNP components: There are only 5 motors installed at the moment so I will cover the sixth slot with a piece of plastic for now. `R1` and `R2` will only be populated if the 10k pullup resistors integrated into the MCU are insufficient for typical baud rates.\n
      \n
      While it is not the first board I’ve designed, it is the first one carrying mains power (European grid 230V@50Hz). I’m using 2 oz copper to accommodate the motor currents within reasonably wide traces.\n
      \n
      In case anyone is interested, it will be running the ESPHome firmware to easily integrate with the Home-Assistant smart home solution. This also pushes firmware maintenance from me onto the ESPHome devs.\n

    I haven’t got enough time on my hands right now to review the whole desingn, but one thing that jumps to mind is that you’ll want to use an antiparallel diode on each relay coil to suppress the negative voltage spikes when switching it off.\n
    \n
    Be sure to keep adequate distance between high and low voltage traces. The ground plane seems awfully close to the N trace.\n
    \n
    Other than that, I’d happily welcome more PCB and/or personal project discussions!

    +title: "PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.\n
      \n
      This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.\n
      \n
      It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I’ve mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.\n
      \n
      The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on `J3` - `J8`) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.\n
      \n
      At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For maintenance reasons I’ve tried to keep it simple and the component count low.\n
      \n
      Mains power is supplied from `J1` and being fed to the motors via the relays. `PS1` converts the line voltage to +5V DC for the relay coils and some auxiliary components. The switching regulator `U2` steps that down to +3.3V for the MCU `U1` and IO Expander `U3`.\n
      \n
      The board size is mostly constrained by the preexisting mounting holes which gives me plenty of space to work with even with just a 2 layer board. The enclosure containing the mounts is installed indoors and is finger-pokey-tight.\n
      \n
      Jumper `JP1` allows me to supply the MCU devkit daughter board with +5V, should I ever replace it with a different one. Similarly `J11` exists for future expansion.\n
      \n
      `J10` mounts another daughter board (not included in review) facilitating communications with the weather station. Should the station ever need to be replaced I can swap in a new, matching board.\n
      \n
      There aren’t any high-speed connections on the board. The fastest one is likely the SPI connection to the LCD controller but I can slow it down in firmware if necessary.\n
      \n
      Regarding the DNP components: There are only 5 motors installed at the moment so I will cover the sixth slot with a piece of plastic for now. `R1` and `R2` will only be populated if the 10k pullup resistors integrated into the MCU are insufficient for typical baud rates.\n
      \n
      While it is not the first board I’ve designed, it is the first one carrying mains power (European grid 230V@50Hz). I’m using 2 oz copper to accommodate the motor currents within reasonably wide traces.\n
      \n
      In case anyone is interested, it will be running the ESPHome firmware to easily integrate with the Home-Assistant smart home solution. This also pushes firmware maintenance from me onto the ESPHome devs.\n

    I haven’t got enough time on my hands right now to review the whole desingn, but one thing that jumps to mind is that you’ll want to use an antiparallel diode on each relay coil to suppress the negative voltage spikes when switching it off.\n
    \n
    Be sure to keep adequate distance between high and low voltage traces. The ground plane seems awfully close to the N trace.\n
    \n
    Other than that, I’d happily welcome more PCB and/or personal project discussions!

    +title: "PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.\n
      \n
      This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.\n
      \n
      It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I’ve mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.\n
      \n
      The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on `J3` - `J8`) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.\n
      \n
      At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For maintenance reasons I’ve tried to keep it simple and the component count low.\n
      \n
      Mains power is supplied from `J1` and being fed to the motors via the relays. `PS1` converts the line voltage to +5V DC for the relay coils and some auxiliary components. The switching regulator `U2` steps that down to +3.3V for the MCU `U1` and IO Expander `U3`.\n
      \n
      The board size is mostly constrained by the preexisting mounting holes which gives me plenty of space to work with even with just a 2 layer board. The enclosure containing the mounts is installed indoors and is finger-pokey-tight.\n
      \n
      Jumper `JP1` allows me to supply the MCU devkit daughter board with +5V, should I ever replace it with a different one. Similarly `J11` exists for future expansion.\n
      \n
      `J10` mounts another daughter board (not included in review) facilitating communications with the weather station. Should the station ever need to be replaced I can swap in a new, matching board.\n
      \n
      There aren’t any high-speed connections on the board. The fastest one is likely the SPI connection to the LCD controller but I can slow it down in firmware if necessary.\n
      \n
      Regarding the DNP components: There are only 5 motors installed at the moment so I will cover the sixth slot with a piece of plastic for now. `R1` and `R2` will only be populated if the 10k pullup resistors integrated into the MCU are insufficient for typical baud rates.\n
      \n
      While it is not the first board I’ve designed, it is the first one carrying mains power (European grid 230V@50Hz). I’m using 2 oz copper to accommodate the motor currents within reasonably wide traces.\n
      \n
      In case anyone is interested, it will be running the ESPHome firmware to easily integrate with the Home-Assistant smart home solution. This also pushes firmware maintenance from me onto the ESPHome devs.\n

    I haven’t got enough time on my hands right now to review the whole desingn, but one thing that jumps to mind is that you’ll want to use an antiparallel diode on each relay coil to suppress the negative voltage spikes when switching it off.\n
    \n
    Be sure to keep adequate distance between high and low voltage traces. The ground plane seems awfully close to the N trace.\n
    \n
    Other than that, I’d happily welcome more PCB and/or personal project discussions!

    +title: "PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.\n
      \n
      This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.\n
      \n
      It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I’ve mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.\n
      \n
      The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on `J3` - `J8`) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.\n
      \n
      At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For maintenance reasons I’ve tried to keep it simple and the component count low.\n
      \n
      Mains power is supplied from `J1` and being fed to the motors via the relays. `PS1` converts the line voltage to +5V DC for the relay coils and some auxiliary components. The switching regulator `U2` steps that down to +3.3V for the MCU `U1` and IO Expander `U3`.\n
      \n
      The board size is mostly constrained by the preexisting mounting holes which gives me plenty of space to work with even with just a 2 layer board. The enclosure containing the mounts is installed indoors and is finger-pokey-tight.\n
      \n
      Jumper `JP1` allows me to supply the MCU devkit daughter board with +5V, should I ever replace it with a different one. Similarly `J11` exists for future expansion.\n
      \n
      `J10` mounts another daughter board (not included in review) facilitating communications with the weather station. Should the station ever need to be replaced I can swap in a new, matching board.\n
      \n
      There aren’t any high-speed connections on the board. The fastest one is likely the SPI connection to the LCD controller but I can slow it down in firmware if necessary.\n
      \n
      Regarding the DNP components: There are only 5 motors installed at the moment so I will cover the sixth slot with a piece of plastic for now. `R1` and `R2` will only be populated if the 10k pullup resistors integrated into the MCU are insufficient for typical baud rates.\n
      \n
      While it is not the first board I’ve designed, it is the first one carrying mains power (European grid 230V@50Hz). I’m using 2 oz copper to accommodate the motor currents within reasonably wide traces.\n
      \n
      In case anyone is interested, it will be running the ESPHome firmware to easily integrate with the Home-Assistant smart home solution. This also pushes firmware maintenance from me onto the ESPHome devs.\n

    I’d agree with the tip of that ground plane is close to the high voltage part. And there’s still space left on the right.\n
    \n
    The ULN2003A claims to have the flyback diodes and they’re connected. So you don’t need another set.\n
    \n
    I’m not an electronic expert myself. But I don’t get why the fuses are the way they are. Most of the times I see boards having one fuse and when it’s blown, the whole board is separated from electricity. You’re kind of splitting it up 3 ways.\n
    \n
    And the 5A of the fuses doesn’t match with the 10A rating of the relais or the 400W you wrote for the connectors. But I get that you have maybe 6 motors moving simultaneously.\n
    \n
    (And why do you have the N trace to the connectors split in the middle and a whole other trace going all the way around? Is that to balance things when there’s much current going over that single trace? Or to match the 2 fuse design?)

    +title: "PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.\n
      \n
      This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.\n
      \n
      It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I’ve mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.\n
      \n
      The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on `J3` - `J8`) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.\n
      \n
      At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For maintenance reasons I’ve tried to keep it simple and the component count low.\n
      \n
      Mains power is supplied from `J1` and being fed to the motors via the relays. `PS1` converts the line voltage to +5V DC for the relay coils and some auxiliary components. The switching regulator `U2` steps that down to +3.3V for the MCU `U1` and IO Expander `U3`.\n
      \n
      The board size is mostly constrained by the preexisting mounting holes which gives me plenty of space to work with even with just a 2 layer board. The enclosure containing the mounts is installed indoors and is finger-pokey-tight.\n
      \n
      Jumper `JP1` allows me to supply the MCU devkit daughter board with +5V, should I ever replace it with a different one. Similarly `J11` exists for future expansion.\n
      \n
      `J10` mounts another daughter board (not included in review) facilitating communications with the weather station. Should the station ever need to be replaced I can swap in a new, matching board.\n
      \n
      There aren’t any high-speed connections on the board. The fastest one is likely the SPI connection to the LCD controller but I can slow it down in firmware if necessary.\n
      \n
      Regarding the DNP components: There are only 5 motors installed at the moment so I will cover the sixth slot with a piece of plastic for now. `R1` and `R2` will only be populated if the 10k pullup resistors integrated into the MCU are insufficient for typical baud rates.\n
      \n
      While it is not the first board I’ve designed, it is the first one carrying mains power (European grid 230V@50Hz). I’m using 2 oz copper to accommodate the motor currents within reasonably wide traces.\n
      \n
      In case anyone is interested, it will be running the ESPHome firmware to easily integrate with the Home-Assistant smart home solution. This also pushes firmware maintenance from me onto the ESPHome devs.\n

    I’d agree with the tip of that ground plane is close to the high voltage part. And there’s still space left on the right.\n
    \n
    The ULN2003A claims to have the flyback diodes and they’re connected. So you don’t need another set.\n
    \n
    I’m not an electronic expert myself. But I don’t get why the fuses are the way they are. Most of the times I see boards having one fuse and when it’s blown, the whole board is separated from electricity. You’re kind of splitting it up 3 ways.\n
    \n
    And the 5A of the fuses doesn’t match with the 10A rating of the relais or the 400W you wrote for the connectors. But I get that you have maybe 6 motors moving simultaneously.\n
    \n
    (And why do you have the N trace to the connectors split in the middle and a whole other trace going all the way around? Is that to balance things when there’s much current going over that single trace? Or to match the 2 fuse design?)

    +title: "PCB Design Review Request: ESP32 Smart Relay Board"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, this post is structured similarly to r/PrintedCircuitBoard 's review request format. Since we don’t have any PCB communities over here yet, I thought that this might fit in here and can maybe spark some friendly discussion.\n
      \n
      This is a relay board controlling electrically driven windows and blinds. For this purpose it has some additional connectors to a weather station, interior sensors and an LCD screen.\n
      \n
      It is replacing a ~20 year old board that has started to develop some annoying quirks. I’ve mostly copied what the original board did and adjusted it for the ESP32. This is not a production board and if all goes well, I will only ever assemble a single one of these.\n
      \n
      The primary usage scenario is that the MCU will monitor the weather station and then actuate the motor groups (M1 - M6 connected on `J3` - `J8`) to keep the indoors temperature and humidity in check.\n
      \n
      At least during summer time the board will likely run 24/7 and will hopefully be used for a number of years. For maintenance reasons I’ve tried to keep it simple and the component count low.\n
      \n
      Mains power is supplied from `J1` and being fed to the motors via the relays. `PS1` converts the line voltage to +5V DC for the relay coils and some auxiliary components. The switching regulator `U2` steps that down to +3.3V for the MCU `U1` and IO Expander `U3`.\n
      \n
      The board size is mostly constrained by the preexisting mounting holes which gives me plenty of space to work with even with just a 2 layer board. The enclosure containing the mounts is installed indoors and is finger-pokey-tight.\n
      \n
      Jumper `JP1` allows me to supply the MCU devkit daughter board with +5V, should I ever replace it with a different one. Similarly `J11` exists for future expansion.\n
      \n
      `J10` mounts another daughter board (not included in review) facilitating communications with the weather station. Should the station ever need to be replaced I can swap in a new, matching board.\n
      \n
      There aren’t any high-speed connections on the board. The fastest one is likely the SPI connection to the LCD controller but I can slow it down in firmware if necessary.\n
      \n
      Regarding the DNP components: There are only 5 motors installed at the moment so I will cover the sixth slot with a piece of plastic for now. `R1` and `R2` will only be populated if the 10k pullup resistors integrated into the MCU are insufficient for typical baud rates.\n
      \n
      While it is not the first board I’ve designed, it is the first one carrying mains power (European grid 230V@50Hz). I’m using 2 oz copper to accommodate the motor currents within reasonably wide traces.\n
      \n
      In case anyone is interested, it will be running the ESPHome firmware to easily integrate with the Home-Assistant smart home solution. This also pushes firmware maintenance from me onto the ESPHome devs.\n

    I’d agree with the tip of that ground plane is close to the high voltage part. And there’s still space left on the right.\n
    \n
    The ULN2003A claims to have the flyback diodes and they’re connected. So you don’t need another set.\n
    \n
    I’m not an electronic expert myself. But I don’t get why the fuses are the way they are. Most of the times I see boards having one fuse and when it’s blown, the whole board is separated from electricity. You’re kind of splitting it up 3 ways.\n
    \n
    And the 5A of the fuses doesn’t match with the 10A rating of the relais or the 400W you wrote for the connectors. But I get that you have maybe 6 motors moving simultaneously.\n
    \n
    (And why do you have the N trace to the connectors split in the middle and a whole other trace going all the way around? Is that to balance things when there’s much current going over that single trace? Or to match the 2 fuse design?)
