Questions
How big is the Node base PCB?
It measures 78 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Node base use?
73 parts, built around the LM3671MF-3.3, SI7021-A20-GM, CAT24C128LI- and SMF05C. 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 Node base KiCad files?
From the LanternD/NB-Scope repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Node Mainboard/Node Base Ver 3.0/node_base.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Node base design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Apache-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).
