Questions

How big is the LoRaAPRS GW RPI V20 PCB?

It measures 56.5 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LoRaAPRS GW RPI V20 use?

28 parts, built around the BME280 and RFM96W-433S2. 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 LoRaAPRS GW RPI V20 KiCad files?

From the aronaut/LoRa-APRS-Gateway-HAT-for-Raspberry-Pi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/LoRaAPRS-GW-RPI_V20.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LoRaAPRS GW RPI V20 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
