Questions
How big is the Nrf card PCB?
It measures 85.6 × 54 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Nrf card use?
64 parts, built around the NPM1100-EK, MPU-9250, PCF85263ATT/AJ and BAT54C. 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 Nrf card KiCad files?
From the dossalab/random-pcbs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nrf-card/nrf-card.kicad_pcb and its schematic ips-display-breakout/display-breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Nrf card design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask dossalab before reusing the design.
