Youtube Video

A bit of a back-story of how this project came to be.

My Kickstarter failed, so I open sourced it

Sub if you like what you see.

Project Structure

The project consists of

  1. Firmware
  2. Hardware

Firmware

You will need to set up the environment from scratch. You can use any method youd like, but the method mentioned below is probably the easiest.

Compilation

You will need to obtain chip related code. The "API" from NXP. This comes with Keil uVision. I recommend using it for simplicity.

The chip is MKE04Z4

Hardware

I am including everything youd need to make one of these.

Questions

How big is the BusinessCard OG PCB?

It measures 33 × 54.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BusinessCard OG use?

44 parts, built around the MKE04Z8VFK4 and JS202011AQN. 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 BusinessCard OG KiCad files?

From the StuckAtPrototype/PCB_business_card_original repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/BusinessCard_OG.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/BusinessCard_OG.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BusinessCard OG design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-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).
