かぜ (Kaze)
A temperature sensor for Home Assistant using an esp32-c6-mini-1, a bme680 for temperature humidity and gas reading and a light sensor for light reading along with 5 neopixel leds.

I love the project, it's really cool! However, your cart screenshots don't show your pcb options or your lcsc cart, and you're also missing parts of the submission requirements. Other than that, it looks polished, and I like the project!

Update the BOM and moved to LCSC
So LCSC shipping is cheaper than digikey and the prices there are much cheaper as well. So I moved my parts from digikey to lcsc. also added a breakout for 4 GPIO's from the esp32.
I am currently designing a case for it, but that will likely be done after receiving and building the sensor.

Hi, while this is a very cool project, it is a Tier 3 at best since it's basically a devboard without the GPIOs and with some extra sensors. If you design a CAD and significant custom firmware, or change your PCB to increase its complexity, this could become a Tier 2. Additionally, we need a full itemized cart screenshot showing exactly what you're ordering with your grant. Your BOM.csv should show WHAT you're getting from Digikey, not just say "digikey".

figured out the BOM and little other things
So the cost comes out to about 115$ for my items... and I dont really know if that will be fully covered by the grant... as I cannot complete any other cost maximistations...

Made the design
I made the silkscreen design on the board and added a couple other sensors! Now this tiny 8cm2 board has 3 sensors that can detect light, temperature, humidity, co2, gas, pressure. Safe to say this little board defenitaly packs a punch! I will now make a BOM and find prices for parts!

Creating the schematic and pcb
I have started the schematic, I am planning to add the esp32-c6-mini-1, a bme680 sensor for temperature sensing, and 5 neopixels for led capabilities.
there are still a couple things i need to iron out on my schematic, but after that that wil be done and only the finishing touches on the pcb will be left! (and cad probs)
I really hate cad btw
Todo
- [x] make schematic
- [x] make pcb design
- [ ] add silkscreen
- [ ] do cad
UPDATE: Posted this to reddit, and got roasted so have to update schematic and pcb.
