Questions

How big is the Nk LoRa PCB?

It measures 40 × 17.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the Nk LoRa use?

93 parts, built around the CP2102N-A01-GQFN24, ESP32-D0WD, SX1261IMLTRT and DF5A5.6JE,LM. 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 Nk LoRa KiCad files?

From the Nitrokey/nitrokey-lora-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nk-LoRa.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nk LoRa design in my own project?

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