Questions

How big is the Nova PCB?

It measures 36.5 × 94.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nova use?

89 parts, built around the FT232RL-REEL, W25N512GVPIT, ASMB-MTB0-0A3A2 and AZ1117EH-3.3TRG1. 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 Nova KiCad files?

From the ERFSEDS/novafc-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electrical/Nova/Nova.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nova design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ERFSEDS before reusing the design.
