Questions

How big is the Tornado PCB?

It measures 22.9 × 22.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tornado use?

45 parts, built around the AP63205WU, AP2112K-3.3, LSM6DSV and WS2812B. 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 Tornado KiCad files?

From the 2crabs/Tornado-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Tornado.kicad_pcb and its schematic Tornado.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tornado design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
