Questions

How big is the Bwlc1a PCB?

It measures 80.5 × 50 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.53 mm thick.

What parts does the Bwlc1a use?

178 parts, built around the A7670C-MASL, ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N4R2, L76L-M33 and MAX17048G+T10. 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 Bwlc1a KiCad files?

From the teapotlaboratories/bwlc1a repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/kicad/bwlc1a.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/kicad/antenna.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bwlc1a 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).
