Questions

How big is the LC RFE RevA2 PCB?

It measures 99.8 × 119.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LC RFE RevA2 use?

262 parts, built around the RT9742CGJ5, SN74LVC1G04DCK, SN74LVC1G32DCK and FT24C32A-ELR-T. 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 LC RFE RevA2 KiCad files?

From the myriadrf/lc-rfe repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is revisions/LC_RFE-RevA2/LC_RFE-RevA2.kicad_pcb and its schematic panels/back/back-panel-v1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LC RFE RevA2 design in my own project?

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