Use

Hold your phone to the card, and the website will open.

Justification

I need a way to easily point people to my website, this was the solution. A card with a small yet distinct form factor, recognisable even from a distance.

The real challenge is getting it cheap enough that it can be produced at scale.

Questions

How big is the Card PCB?

It measures 85 × 54 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Card use?

7 parts, built around the NT3H2111W0FHKH. 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 Card KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Card design in my own project?

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