Overview

KD2 10 is an open-source printed circuit board by Reisi, from the Reisi/The_Helen_Project repository on GitHub, published under the BSD-2-Clause licence. It is a 4-layer board of 29 × 18 mm with 58 parts on 41 nets, routed with 291 tracks and 53 vias.

It is built around the E104-BT5032A, ZXCT1009FTA and BMI160, with the SE8530X2-HF, AO3400A and BAV99 among its other parts. Its parts include 14 resistors, 12 capacitors, 9 connectors, 5 diodes and 4 ICs.

Helen

The Helen Project is a firmware platform for bicycle lights. It features

  • up to 8 modes, each individually configurable
  • the modes can be split into groups
  • support for remote control connected over BLE
  • mode and group configurations with The Helen App
  • light-to-light connections with mode synchronization

Currently there are two devices:

  • Helen, an alternative electronic circuit for the Yinding or KD2 headlight cycling lamps
  • Drake, a multi-purpose PCB, which can be used to build a rear light or a dropper post actuator

Questions

How big is the KD2 10 PCB?

It measures 29 × 18 mm and has 4 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.

What parts does the KD2 10 use?

58 parts, built around the E104-BT5032A, ZXCT1009FTA, BMI160 and SE8530X2-HF. 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 KD2 10 KiCad files?

From the Reisi/The_Helen_Project repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/KD2_10/KD2_10.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the KD2 10 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-2-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
