Questions
How big is the LARA hat PCB?
It measures 65 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LARA hat use?
33 parts, built around the 74LVC2G241GS and SN65HVD230D. 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 LARA hat KiCad files?
From the LuHer10/LARA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/LARA_hat/LARA_hat.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/LARA_hat/LARA_hat.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LARA hat design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LuHer10 before reusing the design.
