Beginner question

[Bakermakes]

Hi, I just have a clarification question. I am looking to do the full diy option. Are all the items listed to buy all I need besides the 3d printed pieces? Is the esp32 the PCB itself or do I need to source one? I apologize for the newness of my questions. Thanks!

Are you referring to the DIY option with the PCB?

[Bakermakes]

Yes

Okay. The PCB contains all parts completely presoldered, so you'd only have to print the case and install it. You'll receive exactly what is shown in the picture on the website

I'm sorry I misunderstood your question, I'm looking to do the From Scratch route

Oh, sorry, my bad! Yes, they are all listed in the README. The PCB needs a small fix I'll upload in 15 minutes, so check back when I ping you. The WS2812B's are supposed to be 5050 SMD ones. But the rest is listed, except the wires you'll need.

Okay, I've now uploaded the new PCB and added some small notes regarding the parts for self-sourcing. To finally answer your original question: No, the esp32 isn't the PCB itself. In the image below, you can see the esp32 soldered onto the PCB.

Thank you for answering my question!

No problem!

[Bakermakes]

Is there some sort of wiring diagram or wiring instructions?

[mawoka-myblock]

No, there isn't, but everything should be self explanatory. Just solder the cable of the LED to the bard with matching polarity

[Bakermakes]

I'm doing the build from scratch version so I have a lot more to wire and not much instruction. I think I have the sensor figured out, I have many questions like where does the AOSS32334C get wired? Or how is the status led wired?

[Bakermakes]

I figured out how to open the kicad file, and that shows me what I need.
