README
side-pcb/README.mdLinHT Side Buttons
A small side PCB for the LinHT handheld transceiver, carrying the two side buttons (PTT area) of the radio.
The board is soldered edge-on (perpendicularly) to the side of the LinHT main PCB. Its outline matches the original side-button board of the Retevis C62 donor radio, so it fits the stock enclosure and rubber button covers without modifications.
Bill of Materials
Apart from the PCB itself you need:
- 2× metal button dome (snap dome), e.g. AliExpress item 33001419494
The domes are placed over the exposed button contacts and held in place by adhesive tape or the button membrane.
Fabrication
Gerber files are generated by the CI and published on the
LinHT hardware page, or can be exported
locally from side-pcb.kicad_pcb with KiCad 10.

Questions
How big is the Linht hw PCB?
It measures 45.5 × 96 mm and has 6 copper layers, 0.93 mm thick.
What parts does the Linht hw use?
258 parts, built around the ATTINY826-MU, PE4312C-Z, BQ25792RQMR and GRF5604. 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 Linht hw KiCad files?
From the M17-Project/LinHT-hw repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is linht-hw.kicad_pcb and its schematic audio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Linht hw design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask M17-Project before reusing the design.
