As the input levels on the opamp is much higher +than our 5V supply, we are rectifying and smoothing the HAN signal to use for a supply here. (VDD) + +As a power source, we've used a micro USB connector, providing 5V, just as this is cheap and easy. However, +no part of the circuit will need any other power than the 3.3V, so any combination of power source and +regulator that provides the 3.3V will do. + +The ESP8266 setup is a rather standaraized setup and will allow for programming the ESP directly on the +board, if needed. During programming, it might be neccessary to disconnect the incoming HAN. + +## Schematics +![Schematics](./Schematics.png) + +## PCB +![PCB](./PCB.PNG)
