CosmicPi/CosmicPiV1.7PCB
PCB for Version 1.7 of the Cosmic Pi Hardware. Incremental changes from V1.6. This design is licensed under the CERN OHL V1.2

Prototypes for our V2 PCB
Cosmicpi2beta is an open-source printed circuit board by CosmicPi, from the CosmicPi/CosmicPi2-pcb repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 132 × 100 mm with 223 parts on 178 nets, routed with 1,435 tracks and 347 vias.
It is built around the L76-M33, AD8039ARZ and MAX5026EUT+T, with the BME280, MCP4728-E/UN and LP2985-33DBV among its other parts. Its parts include 70 capacitors, 70 resistors, 16 connectors, 15 ICs and 13 diodes. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.
Version 2, beta production of the Cosmic Pi, learning the lessons from V2.0alpha and adding back the UART connection between GPS and STM32. All the components are now on a single PCB with a snap-off for the SiPM elements. SiPMs are now from Broadcom, as they purchased Ketek's SiPM production unit.
The design uses scintillators from Amcrys http://www.amcrys.com/ which are not yet available via a retail outlet, however any BC-408 equivalent scintillator that has diamond polished finish surfaces and dimensions of 200x100x10mm can be mated to the SiPMs with suitable mounting holes.

PE1RGU/hf-antenna-switch
Remote HF antenna switch: 3 radios x 4 antennas (path to 8), outdoor relay unit with a hardware safety chain, controlled over Cat6 from a shack interface. KiCad 10, open hardware, designed together with an AI.
It measures 132 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
223 parts, built around the L76-M33, AD8039ARZ, MAX5026EUT+T and BME280. 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.
From the CosmicPi/CosmicPi2-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cosmicpi2beta.kicad_pcb and its schematic analog.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CosmicPi before reusing the design.
