Questions

How big is the L4 PCB?

It measures 303.5 × 99.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the L4 use?

136 parts, built around the CR2032 and SSM3J332R,LF. 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 L4 KiCad files?

From the object1037/L4 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/L4.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/L4.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the L4 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask object1037 before reusing the design.
