Node for CANbus and XBee commuincation
This node is a rackable board for a robot taking part in the Coupe de France de Robotique.
It allows the system to communicate using both CANbus and XBee, using a homemade adapter (see XBeeSX868_adapter).

Questions
How big is the XBee node PCB?
It measures 70 × 55 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the XBee node use?
23 parts, built around the MCP2551-I/P and MCP2515-I. 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 XBee node KiCad files?
From the ElBabar/XBee_node repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/XBee_node.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the XBee node design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ElBabar before reusing the design.
