Practice Good Git Hygiene!

  1. Only commit files you intended to change
  2. Create branches for each feature, and larger branches for each development effort (i.e. develop/*)
  3. Check your branch before starting work
  4. Pull frequently to avoid conflicts
  5. Make Pull Requests when you are ready to merge into a larger branch

Questions

How big is the WaveWise Buoy PCB?

It measures 67.8 × 76.2 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the WaveWise Buoy use?

68 parts, built around the FT232RL-REEL, AZ1117CH-3.3TRG1 and AS-16.000-20-SMD-TR. 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 WaveWise Buoy KiCad files?

From the GenerateNU/WaveWise repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is production/wavewise-ecad/WaveWise_Buoy_FINAL/WaveWise_Buoy.kicad_pcb and its schematic production/wavewise-ecad/WaveWise_Buoy_FINAL/WaveWise_Buoy.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the WaveWise Buoy design in my own project?

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