Questions

How big is the BoardRover2 PCB?

It measures 82.1 × 91.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BoardRover2 use?

42 parts, built around the AMS1117-5.0. 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 BoardRover2 KiCad files?

From the namontoy/RobertUN repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/BoardRover2/BoardRover2.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/BoardRover2/BoardRover2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BoardRover2 design in my own project?

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