Hi,
I have been designing a PCB which includes an ESP32 module.
I am now looking at integrating a bypass capacitor for the board. The board will be powered from a 7V input terminal which will pass to a 5V switch-mode voltage regulator. The output of the 5V regulator will be passed into a 5V plane.
The ground of the regulator will pass into a GND plane.
For the life of me I can't work out how to integrate a bypass capacitor without suffering from DRC errors. The problem is that I have my DC input on it's own nets, but when I wire them into the regulator with the GND and output pins tied into the 5V and GND nets, I get the DRC errors. I have yet to find any explanation of how to design the PCB inside easyeda to avoid these DRC errors.
Can someone point me to a sample project which explains how to tie to different net's together, or how I should include a bypass capacitor which ties to a GND plane?
I have the same problem with a de-coupling capacitor which I will apply to an ESP32 module, but I am fairly sure once I can include the bypass capacitor the same theory would apply to the de-coupling capacitor
I have made the project public while getting support
[https://easyeda\.com/angus\_grant/ESP32\_BCDeviceSupport](https://easyeda.com/angus_grant/ESP32_BCDeviceSupport)
This is my first full PDB design, and I had problems understanding how to design the schematic correctly, so there is only a PCB design in my project. Feel free to provide any further feedback on other component design
My board includes a 3rd party ESP32 development board, and includes the option for reading temps from PT100/PT1000 RTD or a DS18B20 one-wire temp probes. It will then feed out a 5V signal through a relay module to an external high-powered relay to control a chilling system.
Thanks,
Angus.
