The Bring-Up Plan

A project log for uMesh

A 1" squared ESP32 module that natively takes LiPo batteries, charges them, and doesn't kill them.

After finished a PCB design, there are three blockers in terms of time before I can start bring-up:

  1. OSHPark fab and delivery (this took about a week from order to my door: mindblowing)
  2. Digikey parts order (Usually about 24 hours: also amazing)
  3. Me clearing my schedule to make it down to the lab (still hasn't happened yet)

The waiting is annoying, but even more so when it's entirely on me!

I have had lots of screen-time though, even if I haven't been able to physically make it to a soldering station.

So in the meantime, I've written detail documentation and a bring-up test plan for the uMesh module. It clocks in at 17 pages currently, and I'm sure I'll be adding to it as I work on it.

I'm adding it to the files section of this project.

I should also mention that I'm stoked about the deadline extension for the square inch project!
