This repository contains open-source KiCad assets for the YD-ESP32-S3 module by VCC-GND Studio, popular on AliExpress due to its lower cost compared to the "original" Espressif's ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1.
It took me a good few hours to locate those in various places, fix errors and piece them together, so I thought I'd save you a hassle.
