Overview

Linht hw is an open-source printed circuit board by M17-Project, from the M17-Project/LinHT-hw repository on GitHub. It is a 6-layer board of 45.5 × 96 mm with 258 parts on 301 nets, routed with 1,823 tracks and 673 vias.

It is built around the ATTINY826-MU, PE4312C-Z and BQ25792RQMR, with the GRF5604, CL21A106KBYQNNE and CC0402JRNPO9BN102 among its other parts. Its parts include 95 capacitors, 63 resistors, 12 connectors, 9 inductors and 5 ICs. It belongs with the radio and wireless boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

LinHT 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:

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.
