Questions
How big is the Can nano shield PCB?
It measures 50 × 18 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Can nano shield use?
24 parts, built around the TJA1051T/3/1, SSQ-115-03-T-S, B82789C0113N002 and PESD2CANFD24LT-Q. 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 Can nano shield KiCad files?
From the feastorg/can-nano-shield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/can-nano-shield.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/can-nano-shield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Can nano shield design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
