Questions

How big is the BMI270-Breakout PCB?

It measures 16.5 × 20.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BMI270-Breakout use?

16 parts, built around the BMI270 and AFC10-S04QCA-00. 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 BMI270-Breakout KiCad files?

From the HackableElectronics/BMI270-Breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is bmi270-breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic bmi270-breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BMI270-Breakout design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the LGPL-2.1 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
