Questions
How big is the PostAlertBaseStationV6 PCB?
It measures 63.5 × 63.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PostAlertBaseStationV6 use?
42 parts, built around the ESP32-C3, RFM95W-915S2 and MMBT3904. 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 PostAlertBaseStationV6 KiCad files?
From the RonHeg/PostAlertBaseStationMFG repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/PostAlertBaseStationV6.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/PostAlertBaseStationV6.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PostAlertBaseStationV6 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask RonHeg before reusing the design.
