About the Hacker card PCB
Hacker card is an open source PCB design by djarty24, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 77.8 × 50.5 mm, with 8 components from 4 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the C710403. By type, the board carries 3 diodes, 3 resistors, 1 IC and 1 capacitor.
From the project
Hacker card for hack club's Forge
This is a hacker card I made for myself!
I mainly used this article from Hack Club as a starting point, but my project branched out in several ways. First, I used KiCad instead of EasyEDA. I choose to add two additional LEDs, and I also manually designed the NFC antenna. I learned a lot from this project like how to pick out hardware, what energy harvesting is, reading datasheets to find the capacitor I should use, and actually doing calculations for the resistance values based on the hardware I was using and how bright I wanted the circuit to be.

How big is the Hacker card PCB?
The Hacker card measures 77.8 × 50.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Hacker card?
8 components, from 4 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Hacker card design files?
From the djarty24/hacker-card repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Hacker card design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with djarty24. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
