Questions

How big is the PiicoDev IMU MPU6050 PCB?

It measures 25.4 × 25.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PiicoDev IMU MPU6050 use?

29 parts, built around the MPU-6050. 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 PiicoDev IMU MPU6050 KiCad files?

From the CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-IMU-MPU6050 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/PiicoDev-IMU-MPU6050.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/PiicoDev-IMU-MPU6050.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PiicoDev IMU MPU6050 design in my own project?

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