Let me show you my new ESP32-C6 dev board – PCBWay partnership. I reached out to PCBWay in order to sponsor a new design of mine, a development board based on the new ESP32-C6 chip. They said yes and then I proceeded to upload the Gerbers I generated in Kicad.

Part of that process you saw here, here and here. The PCB contains a SeeedStudio Xiao ESP32-C6, one DHT11 temperature sensor, one LDR light sensor and a addressable RGB LED WS2812b. It is made to be connected to a breadboard occupying a single pin of 15 different rows. This saves a lot of space.

It features three jumpers, so that if you are not using the onboard DHT11, LDR or WS2812b you remove the jumpers. Then you can use the same pins for different functions. It is a 40x35mm board, literally does not take up space.

The board itself is two layers, more than enough for what I need here. You can see by the pictures above that the silk-screen is in the right place. One design decision I made after the fact was to remove the LM35 temperature sensor and put in place a LDR light sensor, based on tips I got on Reddit.

Final words

PCBWay was an amazing partner, the PCB quality is just superb. The finishing is just detail-less and the colors/silkscreen is very well done.
