Questions

How big is the CowPi mk4b natural PCB?

It measures 185.4 × 75.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CowPi mk4b natural use?

80 parts, built around the TS-1187A-B-A-B, SS-3390S-L0, X6511FRS-11-C85D30 and HS96L03W2C03. 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 CowPi mk4b natural KiCad files?

From the DocBohn/CowPi_hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mark-4/CowPi-mk4b-natural/CowPi-mk4b-natural.kicad_pcb and its schematic mark-3/CowPi-mk3a/CowPi-mk3a.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CowPi mk4b natural design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-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).
