Questions
How big is the Kapula PCB?
It measures 50 × 59 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.
What parts does the Kapula use?
166 parts, built around the EFR32FG14P233F256GM48-B, XA213-G4J, FM8002A and DW01+G. 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 Kapula KiCad files?
From the tejeez/geckokapula repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware_v2/pcb/kapula.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware_v2/connections/connections.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Kapula design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask tejeez before reusing the design.
