Questions

How big is the Trochi PCB?

It measures 19 × 26.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Trochi use?

59 parts, built around the TF-021B-H265, ICM-42688-P, ME6211C33M5G-N and YX-SMD5020. 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 Trochi KiCad files?

From the 2j87/Trochi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Trochi.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Trochi.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Trochi design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 2j87 before reusing the design.
