Questions
How big is the GPS Tracker BoardandSchematic PCB?
It measures 190 × 78 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the GPS Tracker BoardandSchematic use?
18 parts, built around the SIM800C and SAM-M8Q-0. 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 GPS Tracker BoardandSchematic KiCad files?
From the er7-njit/GPSTracker430 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB Design/GPS_Tracker_BoardandSchematic.kicad_pcb and its schematic Initial Component Choices [Depreciated]/Project_Design_Files/Ki_Cad_ProjectFiles/GPSTracker_Design_10-8-24.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the GPS Tracker BoardandSchematic design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask er7-njit before reusing the design.
