I’m curious to know - the author describes many pitfalls. But - how much work is this for an experienced PCB designer? How long would it take someone skilled to get such a thing designed? | ||

Author here! I'm sure an experienced PCB designer could get it done quicker, but we were in it for the learning aspect too. Hack the North is entirely student run! My best guess is an experienced designer would have made fewer mistakes and been more familiar with the process, so maybe they save two iterations and can get the initial schematic capture and layout done in a few days rather than a week. | ||

A good experienced designer who has done esp32 before will have all these modules or similar enough in a library and can just plug them together. Possible in a day depending on risk tolerance, almost always better imo to sleep on it. There would be no iterations. But they will not likely do it happily in that timeframe. And you would practically never get them to quote it at one day, especially not without an inflated rate. | ||
