Questions
How big is the Toastershield PCB?
It measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Toastershield use?
39 parts, built around the 74HC14 and NE555P. 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 Toastershield KiCad files?
From the Camuise/toasterboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is shield/toastershield.kicad_pcb and its schematic shield/toastershield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Toastershield design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Camuise before reusing the design.
