Overview

Case smd challenge is an open-source printed circuit board by CASE-Association, from the CASE-Association/smd-challenge repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 39.1 × 50.1 mm with 31 parts on 20 nets, routed with 158 tracks and 29 vias.

It is built around the ATSAMD11C14A-SSN and CR2032. Its parts include 6 resistors, 5 diodes, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs and 2 connectors. It belongs with the SAM D and SAM boards of this library.

CASE SMD Challenge

Inspired by this unfortunate SMD project we have created the CASE SMD Challenge to provide our members with an opportunity for immense soldering frustration. If you are able to fully assemble the board it also doubles as a small USB development board. You can now flash all the LED:s that were painstakingly added to the board or hook it up to other gizmos via the test points on the PCB.

Questions

How big is the Case smd challenge PCB?

It measures 39.1 × 50.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Case smd challenge use?

31 parts, built around the ATSAMD11C14A-SSN and CR2032. 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 Case smd challenge KiCad files?

From the CASE-Association/smd-challenge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/Case smd challenge.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Case smd challenge design in my own project?

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