Questions

How big is the NRF52840-shield PCB?

It measures 102.9 × 67.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the NRF52840-shield use?

58 parts, built around the LSF0108QPWRQ1, B4B-PH-K-S(LF)(SN)(PP), BM04B-SRSS-TB(LF)(SN)(P) and EXB-A10P331J. 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 NRF52840-shield KiCad files?

From the SLAMRobotProject/Shield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nRF52840-shield/nRF52840-shield.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NRF52840-shield design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SLAMRobotProject before reusing the design.
