This project involves designing a complete schematic for a robotic arm controller based on the ESP32-C3 microcontroller, specifically using the ESP32-C3-MINI-1-N4 module. The design features a dual power input system and comprehensive power management, motor control, I/O interfaces, and status indicators—all implemented on a 2-layer PCB. Key Specifications: Microcontroller: • ESP32-C3-MINI-1-N4 module operating at 3.3V. • Integrated USB programming connections with reset and boot mode buttons. Power System: • Dual power inputs with automatic source selection: USB-C port (5V input) and barrel jack (6-12V input). • Power management using LM74610 smart diode controllers for power source OR-ing. • AMS1117-3.3 voltage regulator to deliver a stable 3.3V supply to the microcontroller. • Filter capacitors (10μF electrolytic and 100nF ceramic) at the input and output of the regulators. • Protection features including USBLC6-2SC6 for USB ESD protection and TVS diodes for barrel jack overvoltage protection. Motor Control: • Incorporates an Omron G5LE relay with a PC817 optocoupler and BC547 transistor driver. • Provides dedicated header pins for servo motors with PWM outputs. • Flyback diode protection implemented for relay safety. I/O Connections: • Header pins exposing ESP32-C3 GPIOs: Digital I/O (IO0-IO10, IO18, IO19) and serial communication lines (TXD0, RXD0), plus an enable pin. • Each I/O pin includes appropriate 10kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistors to ensure reliable performance. Status Indicators: • A power status LED with a current-limiting resistor. • A user-controllable LED connected to one of the GPIO pins. PCB Layout Requirements: • 2-layer PCB design with separate ground planes for digital and power sections. • Placement of decoupling capacitors close to power pins to reduce noise. • Adequate trace width for power lines to ensure efficient current flow. • Inclusion of mounting holes at the board corners for secure installation. • All components are properly labeled with correct values for resistors, capacitors, and other passive elements, following standard design practices for noise reduction, stability, and reliability. #RoboticArmController #ESP32C3 #SchematicDesign #PCBDesign #ElectronicsDesign #PowerManagement #MotorControl #EmbeddedSystems #IoT
