Questions
How big is the Ortholith PCB?
It measures 280.7 × 149.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ortholith use?
220 parts, built around the 1N4148W. 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 Ortholith KiCad files?
From the Aleblazer/Ortholith repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Ortholith v03 (Intellikeys usb layout)/Ortholith.kicad_pcb and its schematic Ortholith v02 (Choc Solder)/Ortholith.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ortholith design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
