Verified via gh api that hardware lives in two maker-owned repos separate from the firmware fork: Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager (CERN-OHL-S-2.0; full KiCad project incl. sub-sheets, Gerbers, drill, pick-place, BOM CSV, schematic PDF) and Case-Design-Files-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager (CERN-OHL-S-2.0; STEP enclosure across revisions V97/V98.5/V105/V107). The KiCad footprint library names the actual LoRa part as Ebyte E22-900M22S (an SX1262-based module), not a bare SX1262 IC — used that module's own datasheet for accuracy. ### Raw source files Direct links an agent or KiCad can open (the viewer on the page reads the same files). - KiCad project **KiCad PCB + schematic project** (exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager): [Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager.kicad_pro](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager.kicad_pro), [Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager.kicad_sch), [LEDs.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/LEDs.kicad_sch), [LoRa.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/LoRa.kicad_sch), [MCU.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/MCU.kicad_sch), [More_LEDs.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/More_LEDs.kicad_sch), [led_controller.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/led_controller.kicad_sch), [peripherals.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/peripherals.kicad_sch), [power_and_usb.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/power_and_usb.kicad_sch), [screen.kicad_sch](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/screen.kicad_sch), [Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager.kicad_pcb](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Electronics-Design-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/main/project/Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager.kicad_pcb) - 3D model (STEP, 1.2 MB): [Exploiteers Hacker Pager V107 Main Shell step](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Case-Design-Files-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/master/Case/V107/Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager_V107_Main_Shell_step.stp) - 3D model (STEP, 0.4 MB): [Exploiteers Hacker Pager V107 Power Switch Cap step](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Case-Design-Files-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/master/Case/V107/Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager_V107_Power_Switch_Cap_step.stp) - 3D model (STEP, 0.1 MB): [Exploiteers Hacker Pager V107 Top D Pad Button step](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Case-Design-Files-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/master/Case/V107/Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager_V107_Top_D_Pad_Button_step.stp) - 3D model (STEP, 0.1 MB): [Exploiteers Hacker Pager V107 Bottom D Pad Button step](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Case-Design-Files-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/master/Case/V107/Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager_V107_Bottom_D_Pad_Button_step.stp) - 3D model (STEP, 0.1 MB): [Exploiteers Hacker Pager V107 Left Button step](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exploiteers/Case-Design-Files-Exploiteers-Hacker-Pager/master/Case/V107/Exploiteers_Hacker_Pager_V107_Left_Button_step.stp) ## Specifications ### Compute & storage | | | |---|---| | Processor | ESP32-S3;
