ESP32-C6 Dual CAN Board Design
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a complete hardware design for an ESP32-C6 Dual CAN carrier board that will sit at the heart of a new communication device. The board must do three things:
• Data logging – capture and store CAN messages locally.
• Wireless communication – push that data over Wi-Fi 6 / BLE without relying on an external gateway.
• Sensor integration – leave headers or footprints that let me tap additional lines and inject CAN messages from attached sensors.
At this stage I am looking for a finished set of design files: schematic, clean PCB layout, BOM with part numbers that are actually in stock, and the usual Gerber/ODB++ outputs so my fabricator can run a quick prototype. You’re free to work in KiCad, Altium, or another mainstream tool as long as the final files are open for future edits.
A few non-negotiables:
• Dual CAN transceivers must be isolated from the ESP32-C6 core to protect the MCU.
• On-board 3 V3 LDO or buck supply sized for worst-case wireless burst current.
• USB-C for power and initial flashing.
• Test pads that expose both CAN buses, the ESP32 JTAG lines, and a spare UART.
If you can show prior work on CAN or ESP32 hardware that will help me move quickly. Let me know your preferred CAD package and the timeline you can hit for first-pass files; I’ll review the design, then release funds for a single-layer prototype run and follow-up tweaks.
