Worth noticing
The example catches an unconnected pin with error code E101, then exports Gerbers, a BOM, and component-placement files.

Field notes

The example circuit includes an ESP32 module, a 1×6 header for power and programming, an LED, and an EN reset circuit with a pull-up resistor and capacitor. The page shows component resolution with an estimated cost of $4.09 per board and lists a Gerber ZIP alongside separate board files. It also links to documentation, pricing, and an app.
