ESP32 PCB Design Inquiry


A pcb with ESP32, female ethernet connection, jst battery connector in to charge regulator (with screw terminal external power input) to step up buck converter (3.7v to 5v).
I can’t start modifying the project right now because there are no available ACUs for AI execution.
Current project state:
  • New empty project created: “Sad Amaranth Transporter”
  • No components or nets have been added yet.
  • Your requested design is understood as:
    • ESP32-based PCB
    • Female Ethernet connector
    • JST battery connector for a 3.7 V LiPo/Li-ion battery
    • Battery charging regulator
    • Screw terminal external power input
    • 3.7 V battery rail boosted to 5 V
    • Likely additional regulation from 5 V to 3.3 V for the ESP32
Remaining work once ACUs are available:
  • Confirm whether Ethernet should be real wired Ethernet data or just an RJ45-style connector for signals/power.
  • Select ESP32 variant/module.
  • Select LiPo charger/power-path IC, boost converter, 3.3 V regulator, connectors, and protection parts.
  • Build the schematic, run ERC/design review, then proceed to PCB placement and routing.
  • Create bring-up notes and basic firmware/pin documentation.
Once ACUs are available, I can design the schematic from this specification.
