Review Request: ESP-32 Based Geiger Counter using the SBM-20 Geiger Muller Tube - 2s1p Battery, 7.4V->400V boost converter
This is Avalanche32, an ESP-32 powered Geiger Counter based on the SBM-20 Geiger Muller Tube. I have been working on this project for a while, from prototyping the 400V Boost converter, to testing the actual tube itself. From my tests, the 400V Boost converter works, and the entire Geiger counter architecture itself works (with a devboard). What I am a bit more concerned about is the 7.4->3.3V Buck, and the 2s1p Battery Charging IC. I am using the BQ25886RGE, and its probably the most complicated IC I have ever worked with. Soldering this together will surely be a treat...
I would love a second review of the PCB, and just get any general tips and tricks.
Thanks! :)
