V1.0

E-Stim Device

Version 1.0 of our ESP32-based e-stim device went from a breadboard prototype to a home-made PCB, and now to a custom board we designed in KiCad and had made by PCBWay. Testing starts soon, with a move to STM32 planned for later.

About the project

We are designing and building our own e-stim device. Version 1.0 is built around an ESP32 microcontroller.

It started on a breadboard, moved to a PCB we made ourselves, and is now on a custom board we designed in KiCad and had made by PCBWay. Testing starts soon, and we plan to move to an STM32 microcontroller in a later version.

Where it's up to

The story so far

  1. Breadboard prototype (done)

    The first working version of the circuit, built on a breadboard around an ESP32.

  2. Home-made PCB (done)

    The circuit moved off the breadboard onto a PCB we made ourselves.

  3. Custom PCB (done)

    We designed a custom board in KiCad and had it made by PCBWay.

  4. Testing (to come)

    Testing the V1.0 board starts soon.

  5. Move to STM32 (to come)

    A later version will move from the ESP32 to an STM32 microcontroller.

Campervan

A home-automation system designed for campervans, with power, lighting and controls managed from one place. We're bringing smart-home style control into a van, built around the power, space and setup a campervan has.

Drone

An AI-powered FPV (first-person view) drone where we design every board ourselves. We've built drones from off-the-shelf parts before; this time it starts with our own flight controller, and our own ESC is next.
