Questions
How big is the Verification unit PCB?
It measures 52.5 × 62.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Verification unit use?
36 parts, built around the CC1101RGPR, L293D and LM3940IT-3.3. 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 Verification unit KiCad files?
From the vasavbn2/ECE445 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Verification_Unit/verification_unit.kicad_pcb and its schematic Fob_Design_Files/Fob_Design_Files.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Verification unit design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask vasavbn2 before reusing the design.
