Assembly instructions

Ethernet breakout board "fix"

In order to properly boot the ESP32 you need to "fix" the breakout board - add a wire between spare pin on the header and 50MHz oscillator EN pin.

Solder components

Everything except terminals!, component layout will help you out

Solder jumpers

Test

• first program your ESP or flash empty sketch via USB not plugged to the main board
• now it's time to test the whole board
• test again, if you skip this step and you follow on, and the error appears later, you will have to break the plastic case in order to fix it

Make a hole for RJ45

Outline the ethernet socket and drill/file the hole

Short the screw lid

Substract the height of the terminal by ~8mm. You can also buy version without sides (ZD3TCS ABS V0) bu you will ended up with the space above terminals

File/Cut the terminals place in plastic case

You will find that fitting the terminals into the plastic case is hard, adjust this area a little

Solder terminals

But first insert the PCB to the top part of the case, make sure ESP is unplugged

Completion

• close the case with bottom part and screw down the PCB.
• plug in the ESP (tricky part, but it's possible)

Status LED (optional)

• drill 6mm (depends on the bezel clip holder) hole
• solder wires to the LED
• crimp 2P header socket

Done
