Questions
How big is the SPT Altimeter PCB?
It measures 45 × 59 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SPT Altimeter use?
62 parts, built around the BMP280, RFM95W-915S2, SAM-M8Q-0 and CR2032. 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 SPT Altimeter KiCad files?
From the rah1236/SPT_Altimeter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is sptAltimeter.kicad_pcb and its schematic sptAltimeter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SPT Altimeter design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask rah1236 before reusing the design.
