Parts:

Notes:

  • J1 is placed on the opposite side of the PCB
  • The second Antenna cable is connected directly to the TX-Module.
  • There is a sqare solder mask for GND of the RX-Antenna on the HAT PCB near U2.

J2 and the corresponding R3 - R5 implement the following optional additional features

Power button Power LED Wifi LED TX LED

For these, additional scripts resp. configuration is required which can be found in the custom/ subdir.

Questions

How big is the Pilight zero PCB?

It measures 65 × 30 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pilight zero use?

14 parts. 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 Pilight zero KiCad files?

From the felfert/pilight-pcb-zero repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pilight-zero.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pilight zero design in my own project?

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