W8BH Morse Tutor (ESP Rev 2B) PCBs #esp32 #pcb


 

Greetings,

The ESP32 Rev 2B PCBs that I ordered from JLCPCB on 20 DEC 2019 arrived today, 13 days later. That is ten days faster than my first PCB order from JLCPCB. I chose the Economy shipping option this time as well. I was trying to beat Chinese New Year, which is on the 25th of January 2020. Evidently, China businesses shut down for Chinese New Year Holidays because everyone goes home. 'Home' for the Chinese living in the city is usually somewhere in the country. Anyway, this year I beat Chinese New Year.

These are beautiful boards! Thanks Bruce! You are a Gentleman, a Scholar, and a fine Craftsman as well. I hope that one day I can make such a nice board using KiCad. You worked F.Cu as well as B.Cu. Well done!

These PCBs are 100mm x 98mm. They are double sided. There are two choices available for the display. I can mount either a 3.2" TFT display on the board, or a 2.8" TFT display on the board. It looks like the display, the Volume knob and the Rotary Encoder are mounted on the front of the board. The Speaker, Audio Jacks, Barrel Jack, Amplifier module, and Mini-360 buck converter are mounted on the back of the PCB.

The silkscreen layer is very sharp looking, easily identifying where each component and module needs to be placed. I am looking forward to putting a couple of these boards together. I will have to order a couple of displays first, so it may take awhile before I can show a finished PCB.

Total cost for five PCBs, including shipping and handling was $8.64. That comes out to be about $1.73 per board. I already have everything, except the display module. So I'm going to order those today. I am leaning toward the larger display because these old eyes need all the help they can get. (8>{D=
