Quick tutorial with how to connect NTC TS to the ESP32-C3 using Arduino framework.

Small schematic tip if you're going to use PoE in your devices related to the minimum load.

Take a look at the idea of reducing operating temperature of high-power IC using SMT blocks as small heatsink.

How to use modern simple instrument Wirewiz for documenting cables in table-drawing format.

Smart approach to designing high-power dissipation devices uses multiboard construction.

Another interesting 🚲ebike controllerteardown. Now it's much more smaller and uses advanced multiboard construction, which can be used for your high-power projects.

Let's measure Iq (quiescent current) of the most common addressable LED WS2812.

Simple unobvious flag that make a change to use ESP32-S3 with PSRAM at industrial operating temperature range.

Important note about standard 4-pin PC fan when using PWM signal to control it.

Small thing, that could damage your devices and should be taken into account when using isolated DC-DC modules.

How to deal with addressable RGB LED (like WS2812B) when you have only 3.3V rail?

It's logical to just connect PHY to Ethernet switch using RJ45 Cat cable, but for real schematic you will want to use optimized solution without additional isolation transformer.

JLCPCB and EasyEDA have huge library of components (maybe one the big in the world), so why not try to use their footprints for your designs in KiCad?

Tiny ESP32-C3 development board has USB support for serial communication, but it's not work in Platformio without by default. Here is simple solution to fix ESP32-C3 with Platformio.

Let's take a look at the Chinese cheap (but no bad) controller for brushless motors (BLDC) with full water protection and aluminum case-heatsink.
