Questions
How big is the Aether PCB?
It measures 57.8 × 39.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 0.98 mm thick.
What parts does the Aether use?
83 parts, built around the NRF52833-QDAA-R, DW3220TR13, B3U-1000P and UWCCP.01. 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 Aether KiCad files?
From the Sinis16/AtlasCircuits repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Aether/Aether.kicad_pcb and its schematic 2BMA400/2BMA400.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Aether design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Sinis16 before reusing the design.
