USB Nova is a cute little USB “drive” that acts as a keyboard, much like the USB Rubber Ducky, WiFi Duck, and other BadUSBs.

Questions

How big is the Nova PCB?

It measures 28.8 × 14 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nova use?

27 parts, built around the ATSAMD21E18A-AU, W25Q32JVSSIQ, ME6211C33M5G-N and 1TS015A-2200-0600-CT. 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 Nova KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Nova design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
