Questions
How big is the Beacon Task PCB?
It measures 80.8 × 80.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Beacon Task use?
45 parts, built around the ATSAMD21G18A-AU, TCAN1042HGVD and RFM96W-433S2. 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 Beacon Task KiCad files?
From the rzy-5712/Beacon_practice repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Beacon_Task.kicad_pcb and its schematic Beacon_Task.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Beacon Task design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask rzy-5712 before reusing the design.
