Questions

How big is the BCU PCB?

It measures 40 × 72 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BCU use?

70 parts, built around the STM32G474RET6, TJA1042T, LM5164DDAR and LTC6820HUD#PBF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the BCU KiCad files?

From the Coilchain/Coilchain-Hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BCU/BCU.kicad_pcb and its schematic BCU/BCU.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BCU design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
