Overview

Tiliqua motherboard is an open-source printed circuit board by antoinevg, from the antoinevg/tiliqua repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence. It is a 4-layer board of 31.7 × 110 mm with 134 parts on 199 nets, routed with 1,821 tracks and 185 vias.

It is built around the AP63200WU, AMS1117-3.3 and AP2161WG, with the H11L1SR2M, PCA9306DP and 1N4007FL among its other parts. Its parts include 41 resistors, 33 capacitors, 20 diodes, 9 ICs and 9 connectors. It belongs with the audio and music and computers and single-board computers boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.

Questions

How big is the Tiliqua motherboard PCB?

It measures 31.7 × 110 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tiliqua motherboard use?

134 parts, built around the AP63200WU, AMS1117-3.3, AP2161WG and H11L1SR2M. 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 Tiliqua motherboard KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Tiliqua motherboard design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-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).
