Questions
How big is the Aether PCB?
It measures 100 × 60 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Aether use?
180 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-MINI-1U-N8, SAM-M10Q-00B, DPS310 and MS860702BA01-50. 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 Aether KiCad files?
From the nasheed-x/aether repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/aether.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/aether.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Aether design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask nasheed-x before reusing the design.
