Smith Badge

A repo for my speedran NFC card. Themed like a Smith chart!

I had to calculate the right amount of inductance (taking into effect the LED in the center) and then generated the appropriate coil footprint.

Questions

What parts does the Smith badge use?

11 parts. 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 Smith badge KiCad files?

From the mpkendall/smith-badge repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/smith-badge/smith-badge.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/smith-badge/smith-badge.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Smith badge design in my own project?

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