Questions

How big is the Transmitter PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.56 mm thick.

What parts does the Transmitter use?

392 parts, built around the E01-2G4M27SX, AMS1117-3.3, CAT24C256LI and ESD5Z5V0. 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 Transmitter KiCad files?

From the lime7git/rc-piper-transmitter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is transmitter.kicad_pcb and its schematic Battery.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Transmitter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask lime7git before reusing the design.
