Questions
How big is the FakeTecv5 PCB?
It measures 25.4 × 52.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the FakeTecv5 use?
36 parts, built around the XB8089D0 and SI2312. 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 FakeTecv5 KiCad files?
From the zinklink/KiCad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is fakeTec_pcb/design_files/fakeTecv5.kicad_pcb and its schematic BME280/BME280.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the FakeTecv5 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask zinklink before reusing the design.
