Questions

How big is the Gps PCB?

It measures 83.7 × 61.7 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gps use?

88 parts, built around the RP2040, SN74LVC2G17DCKR, NC7WZ07P6X and NEO-M9N-00B. 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 Gps KiCad files?

From the sonicavionics/4in-gps repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/gps.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/gps.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gps design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
