Development Status & Update History
Since this project does not have enough funding to design and prototype a silicon-based microcontroller with embedded sensors necessary for data validation, the next best thing to expedite the deployment of this type of data origins validation, was to design and make available, part of the EDA design files for a module with built-in "Unique Fingerprint Identification" UFID using Espressif Systems ESP32-C3 microcontroller, to expedite and facilitate the design and deployment of smart hardware electronics capable of delivering validated sensor data that can be used for publishing on higher-ranked sci. journals and also for usage in cases of legal dispute. This module is only 26x19mm and it can be soldered into an existing PCB as any other component. It has available for usage all GPIO pins the original ESP32 C3 MCU offers. Anyone can download the Footprint and Symbol for KiCad EDA in the folder "KiCad Footprints & Symbols" of this repository.

🟢 Fully tested and working
A green circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. And it can be installed in a vehicle. Keep in mind this does not mean errors won't happen. As in everything related to electronics and software, there are revisions and updates. This open hardware is no different.
💯 Fully tested & working, no improvements necessary - already being sold online
🆓 Fully Open hardware \ source code
🤪 There's better than this. don't use it
🔐 Fully closed hardware \ source code
⚡️ fully tested and working, however, it is a dangerous solution to deploy
🟡 Not tested. Working capability is unknown, it may work or not.
A yellow circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was not fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. This does not mean it not working, it simply means testing is needed before giving a green circle of approval.
🔴 Fully tested but not working.
A red circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was fully tested, and found some kind of critical error or fault. This means the electronics or firmware code cannot be used in a vehicle.
⌛ Not started.
The hourglass means the hardware electronics or the programming hasn't started. Most likely because is waiting for the necessary test components needed for reverse engineering and also engineering of the new open solution.
