Overview
Module template is an open-source printed circuit board by fieldkit, from the fieldkit/module-template repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 95 × 25 mm with 9 parts on 15 nets, routed with 50 tracks and 10 vias.
It is built around the M24C64-DFMN6TP. Its parts include 3 capacitors, 3 resistors, 2 ICs and 1 connector.

This is a template project for creating new FieldKit module hardware in Kicad.
It Has :
- The board outline.
- A connector to attach it to a FieldKit station.
- 3.3v Regulation.
- An EEPROM to identify the module and store any calibration data.
Just clone and augment!

Questions
How big is the Module template PCB?
It measures 95 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Module template use?
9 parts, built around the M24C64-DFMN6TP. 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 Module template KiCad files?
From the fieldkit/module-template repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is module-template.kicad_pcb and its schematic module-prerequisites.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Module template design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
