ESP32 RC Wireless Trailer Controller for ESP32 RC Sound & Light Controller
Use it in combination with this sound and light controller:
This ESC is compatible as well:
Very important:
- Please read the comments on the schematic carefully! You can find it here
- The input supply range is 5 - 6V (5 is recommended). If you are using a PAM8403 amplifier: 5V only!
- There is no reverse polarity protection! Check wiring carefully before connecting the battery!

Discussion forum in German and English:
Main features:
- Connects wirelessly to the sound and light controller in the truck via ESP-NOW (up to 3 trailers)
- Browser based configuration (192.168.4.1), Standard SSID & PW: "My_Trailer", "123456789"
- taillights
- reversing lights
- side lights
- indicators
- motorized legs
- motorized ramps
- rotating beacon
Parts list:
- C1: 1 x 6.3V, 47uF 1206 ceramic capacitor
- C2: 1 x 25V, 22uF 1206 ceramic capacitor
- R1 - R3: 10k, 1/4W
- R4: 1k, 1/4W
- U1: D1 Mini ESP32 Module (read notes on schematic)
- IC1: ULN2003AN (DIL16 thru hole version)
- 0.1" straight 1 row male pin headers
- 0.1" angle 2 row male pin headers
- 0.1" angle 3 row male pin headers
- STL data for top housing
- STL data for 1.6mm bottom housing
- STL data for 1.0mm bottom housing
Assembling:
- solder capacitors, if you want to use them
- solder ULN2003
- solder straight headers, using the D1 Mini as a jig
- solder angle headers
- solder resistors, if you want to use them
- carefully check for solder bridges
- clean the solder joints, using some flux remover
- solder battery monitor wire
- print housing in PETG and snap it in position
- Assemble battery monitor DuPont header
- Press both halves together
- load the software, using VS Code (recommended), the ESP32 Web Flasher or Arduino IDE
- Wire up your vehicle and have fun!
If you want to change the D1 Mini on board 3.3V regulator according to the schematic:
- apply flux
- apply solder to the soldering iron
- heat the regulator on the side with 3 legs until it comes loose
- wipe it away, using the soldering iron tip
- apply flux and then fresh solder to the pads
- place the new regulator, using tweezers
- reflow the solder, using the soldering iron on all pins
- check for solder bridges
- clean the solder joints, using some flux remover
Example wiring, if used as sound and light controller:

As you can see, this trailer controller can also be used as a sound and light controller, if you are using an external amplifier for the sound! How cool is this?
