Questions
How big is the WSPR ease PCB?
It measures 99 × 64 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the WSPR ease use?
182 parts, built around the ICE40UP5K-SG48I, ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R8, TESEO-LIV3R and UCC27523DGN. 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 WSPR ease KiCad files?
From the alanmimms/WSPR-ease repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/WSPR-ease.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/LPFs.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the WSPR ease design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
