Questions

How big is the Time4pi PCB?

It measures 30.1 × 65.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Time4pi use?

42 parts, built around the ICE40UP5K-SG48ITR50 and ADF4158CCP. 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 Time4pi KiCad files?

From the Slenderman00/time4pi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is time4pi.kicad_pcb and its schematic time4pi.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Time4pi design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Slenderman00 before reusing the design.
