Enhanced RF Remote Control PCB with ESP32-C3 – Version 2

This project is an improved second version of an RF remote control PCB designed to operate an RF-controlled car, which is also powered by an ESP32-C3 microcontroller.

In this version, a battery management system (IP5306) has been integrated, allowing the device to charge a lithium battery while providing a stable 5V DC output to power the rest of the circuit. The remote control is powered via the USB-C port (J1), which charges the battery through the IP5306 IC.

The PCB includes the following input controls:

• Six digital buttons for various control functions.
• A joystick with two axes provides analog inputs for more precise movement control.

Additionally, an addressable RGB LED (WS2812) is included to indicate different states and control directions.

This PCB project is ideal for students and hobbyists who are beginning their journey in electronics and RF communication, providing a practical and interactive way to learn about wireless control systems and embedded development.
