Build Instructions

To assemble the BAREHUB PCB:

  1. Apply solder paste to the pads of the PCB.
  2. Place all components (FE1.1S IC, USB ports, capacitors, etc.) onto their pads.
  3. Use a hotplate(reccomended) or hot-air gun to reflow the solder paste and solder components down.
  4. Inspect solder joints and touch up any misaligned components(dont burn em duh) if needed.

Questions

How big is the Barehub PCB?

It measures 96.2 × 51.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Barehub use?

36 parts, built around the FE1.1S and SMF05CT1G. 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 Barehub KiCad files?

From the cloudglides/barehub repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb_kicad/barehub.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb_kicad/barehub.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Barehub design in my own project?

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