Questions

How big is the WirelessBERA PCB?

It measures 73 × 94 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.58 mm thick.

What parts does the WirelessBERA use?

183 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8, LTC6373IDFM#PBF, OPA376AIDBVR-MS and TPS63000DRCR. 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 WirelessBERA KiCad files?

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

Can I use the WirelessBERA design in my own project?

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