Re: Using the DS3231 Module and Other Modules for Time and Relay State Management with ESP-Easy

3-position switch is also a good idea. And since you're switching only 5V, you don't need to keep that much distance. Just make sure you're not placing the switch close to the mains voltage parts :) And maybe use one that's not that accessible so you can't switch it by accident. If you plan on letti...

Re: Using the DS3231 Module and Other Modules for Time and Relay State Management with ESP-Easy

I would place the capacitor C1 inbetween the 2 diodes, so the + of the capacitor is at the +5V net symbol. This way the C1 will also help when you power it via USB. The orientation of the 2 diode is correct. This way there is no current flowing in the wrong direction. I just named the 1N4007 as that...

The trace-width should be related to the max. current. The used voltage doesn't have anything to do with the trace width. The distance between traces is what matters with higher voltages. As a rule of thumb, keep at least 1 mm per 100 V. For mains voltage this means you need to keep at least 3 mm be...
