Questions

How big is the Tiny tracker PCB?

It measures 15 × 26.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tiny tracker use?

35 parts, built around the MIA-M10Q-00B, BALFHB-WL-01D3, ANT-916-JJB-RA and APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC. 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 Tiny tracker KiCad files?

From the StarlightDescender/tiny-tracker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v1/Hardware/tracker-transmitter/tiny_tracker.kicad_pcb and its schematic v1/Hardware/tracker-transmitter/tiny_tracker.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tiny tracker 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).
