CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A hobbyist builds a Wi-Fi controlled robot car using an ESP32 dev board, a DRV8833 motor driver, and an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection.

Key decisions

  • Use a 2S Li-ion battery and 5V buck regulator to power the ESP32 and ultrasonic sensor reliably
  • Wire DRV8833 nSLEEP to 3.3V to keep the motor driver enabled
  • Connect ultrasonic trigger to GPIO13 and echo to GPIO14 for ranging

When to reuse this

Reuse this netlist when assembling a small DC-motor robot with ESP32 Wi-Fi control and ultrasonic obstacle avoidance.
