Developers could even design and add their own daughterboards to connect to the motherboard’s touch header. A good way to get started with your own board is to check out ESP32 Sense Kit reference design files with Cadence/OrCAD Capture V16.6 schematics, and Mentor Graphics/Pads V.2 PCB layout files.

But if you are just interested in the software part, you’ll want to check out the documentation and related samples on Github. The getting started video below may also help.

ESP32 Sense Kit with the motherboard and the 5 daughterboard can be purchased for $65.40 on Electrodragon.
