If you need to have a logic shifter for your I2C bus, this is all you need. This will autosense the data's direction and act seamlessly in your design.

I tend to Stick to seeed xiao or adafruit qt pinout. This makes adding Modules more flexible. Check my pcb here:

Had a similar idea.. Still using the esp32... But added an fm Radio and some other rf stuff

0.645 x 0.645 mm is the size of this LDO!

It's half the size of the 0402.

Low Quiescent Current is here 340 nA

The Dropout Voltage of 140 mV and 300 mA output current isn't so important. An ultra-low current switching regulator would work too, but this LDO has a significantly lower PCB footprint.

Have you ever used the autocomplete hotkey in KiCAD's PCB editor? Did you even know about it?

This Device really got me thinking: WHY 2x ESP32?
The interesting part about it is: It is the same as Waveshare www.waveshare.com/product/ardu...

de.aliexpress.com/item/1005009...
Got one for 23 €
Finally:ESP32 for BT sink and another ESP32-S3 for Display. Both ESP32 on one USB Connector

Design of a PCB for a simple FM Radio takes longer than expected. More and more ideas come up. Dual FM Tuner. I2S Audio, Synth VCO, BME690 Air Quality and #LoRa or #Meshtastic support. Did I mention ESP32-C3? Or Seeed Xiao Bord support?

please never use the AMS1117 again. It is sooo power inefficent. Please replace with RT9013 or something else. 10mA Quiescent current for the AMS is just not acceptable.
