Table
| Area | Decision | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| ESP32 | Use ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R2 module | Certified RF module, no bare RF design |
| PoE | Prefer ready isolated PoE 5 V module or proven PD module footprint over discrete flyback | Reduces isolation/layout/control-loop risk |
| QR | Use GM861-class scanner as a module via board connector | Avoid optical/mechanical sensor design on PCB |
| 13.56 MHz NFC | Keep CLRC663-plus path only if library/datasheet/antenna support is adequate; otherwise use module connector for EVT | Reduces antenna-tuning risk for first PCBA |
| 125 kHz LF | Prefer coil connector and tuning placeholders | Allows production tuning without respinning PCB |
| Relays | Use 5 V Form C relays with simple MOSFET drivers and suppression footprints | Reliable, easy to debug, dry-contact output |
| External I/O | Use terminal blocks and protection per port | Factory-friendly and robust for installers |
| PCB | 4-layer board, top components preferred, inner GND/power planes | Better EMI and simpler routing than 2-layer |
| SKU | Build one PCB with DNP options only where safe; avoid dual-input auto-selection unless necessary | Reduces backfeed and assembly mistakes |
