Questions
How big is the Aether PCB?
It measures 85 × 54 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Aether use?
82 parts, built around the STM32L151CBT6, MCP73871EV, NCP1521BSN and SI4464DY. 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 Aether KiCad files?
From the AerodyneLabs/Aether repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Aether.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Aether design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AerodyneLabs before reusing the design.
