Project Layout Submissions
The layout assignment will be posted on BCourses soon, and it is now due on 4/3 (Friday) at 11:59 PM.
Please resubmit your work with the layout included on GitHub Classroom. Also, attach your BOM to your project’s README.
Please see #10 if you have not joined or configured the GitHub Classroom. Please DO THIS ASAP! This is how we will be collecting your submissions for the manufacturing deadline!
As stated in #14, even if you have not finished your layout, please include screenshots of your progress in your design review slides!
IMPORTANT: Design Review Week!
Hi HOPE students,
I hope your Spring Break was great!
As a reminder, this week is Design Review! This is a really crucial week, and staff will be all-hands-on-deck to support your projects. You must go to your assigned section this week to present. There are a few things that you should know:
- Design review slides are due at 7 PM on the day of your section. Submit your slides to BCourses, and make sure to give global viewing permission if you submit a link!
- Please use this template for your design review slide submission link
- If you are in a group that has Wednesday and Thursday section students, please attend the one that the majority of your group is in, and make a private edpost.
- Let us know about any exam conflicts through a private EdPost.
Even if you are not done with the project checkpoints, please put together any work you have done in your design review slides so that you can get personalized feedback.
Also, check out the other post too, but layout submissions have been pushed back to the original date of Friday 4/3. Please include any progress you have made for layout in your design review slides!

Monday 5-6pm OH Canceled - Ansh
Hello HOPE Students,
I cannot make it to my usual OH today. The calendar has been updated to reflect this.
Thanks, Ansh
Project Schematic Submissions
Hello HOPE students,
Apologies for the delay on instructions for submitting your project schematic. For this assignment, we will be opening up a bcourses submission since we were delayed in setting up the GitHub classroom. For bcourses, please submit a zip archive of your project along with a link to your bill of materials and a pdf of your schematic.
Assignment: https://bcourses.berkeley.edu/courses/1553922/assignments/9050321
(If you need an extension, fill out the extension request on the website)
We have a non-graded checkoff quiz that you can go through to ensure you have completed everything for this project: https://bcourses.berkeley.edu/courses/1553922/quizzes/2532083
We are going to be using GitHub classroom for all project related submissions going forward. GitHub is useful tool for version control, we have a guide for setting it up here: https://hope.berkie.ee/github-desktop.
If you need help setting this up, you can make a private edpost or come in and ask us in person during office hours or sections.
For joining the GitHub classroom, please join via this link and connect your GitHub account to your name: https://classroom.github.com/a/uwAiv-IU
Once you accept the assignment, check to see if one of your teammates has created a repository already under the join an existing team section.
You can find your group number by clicking on the “Groups” tab on the bcourse’s People page.
If you are the first person in your group to join, please create a team name with the following format: Group-[Group #]-[Project/Team name].
e.g. Group-28-Buck-Converter
If any issues arise during the account linking/ group forming process, you can make a private post on Ed, and I will work with you to resolve it.

Project Resources
As a reminder, we have a project spec document with deliverables and references for each step of the project. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1smVeWLNiplKkxcA6GZ_3y53MKBoSkndNkYT-nEIYHTI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.4ezcpfh21zxb
We recommend using the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8 for your microcontroller because we have a lot of them, we also have a reference schematic here (it has the design rules for JLCPCB manufacturing) : https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1xYzoJUOG03_vSiMpzJzM-GwwctzvgaoV
For your USB-C we recommend using the USB4085-GF-A (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/gct/USB4085-GF-A/9859662) since USB-Cs have been a common point of failure in previous semesters.
