Tanmatsu/WHY2025 badge PCB design
Renze Nicolai, Paul Honig
This talk delves into the technical aspects of the Tanmatsu hardware design, the latest creation by the badge team, set to be released alongside the availability of ESP32-P4 chips. It will also form the foundation for the WHY2025 badge. Topics include an exploration of the PCB's high-level design, cost considerations for producing 4000 units, challenges and insights from working with pre-release chip prototypes, and a discussion on the practical aspects of MIPI DSI/SCI interfaces, including LVDS and impedance. The session will share both the hurdles and triumphs encountered during the design process.
