Overview

Example is an open-source printed circuit board by lod, from the lod/lca2020 repository on GitHub, published under the CC0-1.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board with 25 parts on 29 nets, routed with 144 tracks and 12 vias.

It is built around the ESP-12F, TV02W360B-G and MB6S, with the NTMD5838NLR2G-VB and SS14FL among its other parts. Its parts include 6 resistors, 4 capacitors, 4 diodes, 2 ICs and 2 connectors. It belongs with the ESP8266 boards of this library.

Questions

What parts does the Example use?

25 parts, built around the ESP-12F, TV02W360B-G, MB6S and NTMD5838NLR2G-VB. 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 Example KiCad files?

From the lod/lca2020 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/complete_pcb/example.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Example design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
