Questions
How big is the Shield PCB?
It measures 27.9 × 20.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Shield use?
6 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8, 25AA040A-I/P and BSS138. 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 Shield KiCad files?
From the AlexBerryhill/25AA040A-Reader repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Shield/Shield.kicad_pcb and its schematic Shield/Shield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Shield design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AlexBerryhill before reusing the design.
