Ikoka Nano Meshtastic Device

GitHub repo: https://github.com/ndoo/ikoka-nano-meshtastic-device

A Meshtastic device based on the Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 and EBYTE E22-XXXMXXS series LoRa modules. Pinout matches the Meshtastic xiao_ble variant.

The focus is on small size without an onboard display or buttons, meaning it must be used with Meshtastic client software, or as a remote repeater managed with remote node administration.

• Qwiic connector for I²C sensors

• SnapMagic E22-900M30S footprint & symbol
• SparkFun KiCad Libraries
• SeeedStudio OPL KiCad Library (forked to add missing XIAO nRF5240 symbol)

• The files were created in KiCad 8
• Clone this git repository recursively, i.e. with –recursive

• Follow the instructions to generate Gerbers at your PCB house, e.g. JLCPCB PCB Files Preparation
• Default 1.6mm 2-layer PCB settings should work well, this PCB passes DRC based on JLCPCB specifications (other than the silkscreen of XIAO module being clipped by the PCB edge)
• PCBA: I used JLC PCB Plug-in for KiCad to generate a BOM and CPL file compatible with JLCPCB PCBA
