Questions

How big is the NRF52 PCB?

It measures 31.5 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the NRF52 use?

66 parts, built around the W25Q128JVSIQ, DS3231MZ/V+, LSM6DS3 and TP4054. 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 NRF52 KiCad files?

From the edatki/Quectowatch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is NRF52/Hardware/Hardware.kicad_pcb and its schematic ESP32/Hardware/Hardware.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NRF52 design in my own project?

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