Questions

How big is the ProgrammerShield PCB?

It measures 57 × 53.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ProgrammerShield use?

28 parts, built around the ARDUINO UNO R3. 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 ProgrammerShield KiCad files?

From the Bartosz-Woj/Arduino-Programming-Shield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ProgrammerShield.kicad_pcb and its schematic ProgrammerShield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ProgrammerShield design in my own project?

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