hi , i would like to know if theres someone willing to help me out.
and draw this in kicad ?
im trying to create a powermodule like the one i have for apm (ardupilot) but then i want to also put an esp32 or esp board on it.
but i need help because i really dont know how to build al of this.
i just program with arduino and i dont know much with schematics and electrical components
this is the schematics of the power module
sorry i was not allowed to put more then 3 images in my post at once only one so im trying to do it like so
so you have a little bit of understanding what i am talking about
the esp works on 3.3v
the input of the battery is 4s lipo and the output i want to connect an ESC controller
We can help you with KiCad questions, for general Electronics questions there are better resources out there. Learning is fun . . . even though it consumes valuable time.
What I can’t understand is: Are you trying to make a copy of this module or are you trying to make the other module. If the other than: What you need at output (voltage/current). If needed I will probably find what should expect from 4s lipo but the info that you want to power ESC controller tells (at least me) nothing.
To be honest you can often buy such modules cheaply because they are manufactured in quantity and they are tested working. If you want to add custom circuitry around it you can use the module as a daughter board on a mother board. It’s an oft used strategy.
if someone kan make me the basics in kicad i can try to add my own components but actually i want this white port removed and have an esp32 on there.
the white port is 5v out but i want it to be 3.3v to feed my esp with power.
i know i can buy these power modules for little money but i want to create a custom board.
only i am a programmer i have no clue on how to make this with kicad thats why i ask for help.
i will need to add a rail with 3 pins this way i will be able to control the esc,
i use the signal pin to control the esc with the servo libary.
if i only have the basic drawing like so , i will try to see if i can add some elements myself.
but to make a replica and then add esp32 with lines and routes this is to hard for me.
please see my latest message.
Kicad is just a tool (EDA) but whoever uses it has to master (even minimally) the hardware. If you have no previous experience in electronics I think this forum will not be able to help you.
In other words, it is like if I want to build a house saying: Well, I am not an architect but if someone teaches me how to use Autocad I could do it.
well i can always ask there is usually someone on a forum/ online that is willing to help someone out.
because im working on this project and if i have to master every skill to finish this project than i will be done in 4 years.
if you familiar with kicad this will not be a hard task to do.
You can get help for electronics in for example eevblog forum. For learning KiCad you can very well take this design – it should be simple enough – and go through the Getting Started document, using this design for every step instead of the simple “blinky” project. When you get stuck with some detail (in using KiCad) you can come back, open a new topic and ask a focused question. But we can’t teach you KiCad in this kind of discussion if you don’t do as much as possible yourself first.
