Questions

How big is the Carrier board PCB?

It measures 65 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Carrier board use?

27 parts, built around the SMBJ5.0A. 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 Carrier board KiCad files?

From the souvk99/Dashcam_project repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/source/carrier_board/carrier_board.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/source/carrier_board/carrier_board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Carrier board design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask souvk99 before reusing the design.
