README
README.mdRiotee Module Hardware Design Files
The Riotee Module is a stamp-sized unit (27.2mm by 15.2mm) that can be soldered onto a user's \ac{pcb} with additional circuitry like sensors or harvesters to create deployment-ready battery-free devices quickly. It integrates harvesting circuitry, two MCUs, an RTC, a PCB antenna, and an LED on a compact 4-layer PCB enclosed in a metal RF shield. The module features breadboard-compatible castellated holes exposing essential signals, including 11 GPIO, two of which can also function as analog inputs. Four additional signals on the back of the module are available when reflow-soldered onto a carrier board.
For more details and pinouts, refer to the documentation.

Questions
How big is the Riotee Module PCB?
It measures 15.2 × 27.2 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1 mm thick.
What parts does the Riotee Module use?
93 parts, built around the MSP430FR5994IZVW, NRF52833-CJAA-R, MAX20361AEWC+ and TLV369IDCK. 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 Riotee Module KiCad files?
From the NessieCircuits/Riotee_Module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/riotee-module.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/board_connectors.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Riotee Module design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-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).
