I've been looking for this exact thing for so long and thought I was crazy when I couldn't find a good solution. Thank you Carl!!

[PCBWay]

It is always a pleasure for us to be a part of your great idea!😊

[UTuber]

Carl, your inventiveness and innovation never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work

[chococookie]

as student major in EE, i can confirm that srinking a controller board to the absolute smollest while still keeping many features is not only impressive but it's the most cutest thing i've seen

i'm currently geeking out rn

[qdaniele]

This is almost exactly what I was looking for (a small ESP32 board with battery circuitry and an IMU in a tiny package). The only missing thing would be ZigBee instead of power-hungry WiFi.

Please cosider selling a ESP32-C6 and/or ESP32-H2 equiped version. They should both work as drop-in replacements for the ESP32-C3 without requiring any change to the PCB whatsoever.
It could even be an option on the website like the IMU is.

[lebasson]

So well done! Having followed your channel for a while now, I can be confident that this board is well-designed. By the looks of it you've already prepared super nice examples for it too. That's an easy buy. Congrats, hope this does well for you.

You have no idea how many of these are going to sell. I've seen so many mini RC tutorials around that have 500 steps and parts/tools. This is a game changer

[SverreDraaisma]

This is great, the fun side effect is that you have made a slime tracker board as well. Slime tracker is a vr full body tracker using the bno085 imus

You should really put in your video that you can save up to 45$ in shipping by not adding on the battery. I took it off and it dropped the price from 90$ to 40$ which turns the product from kind of stressing pricing to actually very reasonable for a research device. If I buy a lipo locally on amazon I can get like 20 of them for that markup.

I have been looking for exactly this (non-IMU and IMU version) for ages! I will undoubtedly be buying more of them in the future

[Samuel-euts]

This looks perfect for a DIY motion suit, I wanted to design a board like this for ages, 30eur per board is pretty good considering how feature packed it is, data could be streamed & synchronized over ESP-NOW. Awesome!

[dfgaJK]

I wish you could've squeezed some motor drivers or just mosfets on there for direct motor drive. (4 mosfets and you would've had yourself a mini drone!)

[SkylineIn]

Your ability to cramp so much function in such a small form factor is crazy

[aspzx]

This looks amazing. I love that you make a version without the IMU available for half the price. Great work.

2 weeks ago I bought a bag of 20 ESP32 C3 Super Mini for less than $15 total, shipping included. I hate to not support creators because you did put a ton of work into it and I can see it in the final product. But I apologize, for throwing a ton of sensors around the house with ESPHome, I'm sticking with these little guys. Much love though, your projects are always top notch 100% amazing, keep at it!!

[msmithdev]

I literally had this same exact board (bit larger same BNO08X sensor) ready for pcbway and i come across this video. Unbelievable, i bought 3 can't wait to get them.

[Mike-Denver]

Congrats, well done! Brilliant enineeering - this is the true power of intelligence! Looking forward to seeing more designs and peices of tech from you! Just keep doing what your are doing!

[GiovanniIgorCesarotto]

How didn't i see this in these 2 weeks? I needed a small, compact, battery powered board with motion sensing capabilities, it's insane how much stuff is packaged in here!

[bdot]

This is a super cool project, thanks for sharing and making it a product available to us!

[atom]

A pin matched board with a bldc driver and magnetic encoder would be very very cool.
