About the Pylou s-Karambit PCB

Pylou s-Karambit is an open source Nordic nRF PCB design by Pyloupy, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 93.2 × 56.1 mm, with 13 components from 11 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the XIAO-nRF52840-DIP, from the Nordic nRF family. By type, the board carries 3 ICs, 3 resistors, 2 transistors and 2 diodes.

It belongs with the wearables designs in this gallery.

From the project

This is the GitHub Repo where I'll show my own version of the Reaver Karambit from Valorant bringed to life! I tried to make it as realistic as possible with LEDs A smoke generator and even movement and voice recognition! You should see everything here that will make you able to recreate my work, GL :)

Hey there ! This is the GitHub Repo where I'll show my creation based of the Reaver Karambit from Valorant (cf photo down below) that I wanted to bring to life!

I tried to make it as realistic as possible with LEDs A smoke generator and even movement and voice recognition! You should see everything here that will make you able to recreate my work, GL :)

If you want to see a little demo, I made a video for it go check it out!

Pylou s-Karambit: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pylou s-Karambit use?

The Pylou s-Karambit is built around the XIAO-nRF52840-DIP, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Pylou s-Karambit PCB?

The Pylou s-Karambit measures 93.2 × 56.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Pylou s-Karambit?

13 components, from 11 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 Pylou s-Karambit design files?

From the Pyloupy/Pylou-s-Karambit 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 Pylou s-Karambit design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Pyloupy. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Pylou s-Karambit without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
