T41-EP SDT Project Files

Hardware and software files for the T41-EP SDT as sold / distributed by AI6YM. These files are branched from K9HZ's Repo and G0ORX's Repo with some files from the SoftwareControlledHamRadio Groups.IO.

Changes present here are minor modifications made to enable automated SMD assembly, pre-programming of the Teensy and ATTiny, etc. Refinements to various BOMs (bill of materials) have been made to substitute parts which are unavailable or correct errors.

Software within this repository is licensed under GNU GPL v3. Hardware designs are licensed under TAPR OHL Version 1.0. In addition to these licenses the original creators of the T41, Albert F Peter (AC8GY) and Dr. Jack Purdum (W8TEE), have requested that any commercial use of the designs receive their written permission.

Questions

How big is the T41 PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.65 mm thick.

What parts does the T41 use?

234 parts, built around the HMC434E, PE4312C-Z, LM358BID and MAR-3SM+. 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 T41 KiCad files?

From the ai6ym/t41 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcbs/rf/rf/rf.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcbs/ac8gy_20w_pa/20w_pa_diode_board/20w_pa_diode_board/20w_pa_diode_board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the T41 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ai6ym before reusing the design.
