Questions

How big is the Chessinator9000kicad pcb PCB?

It measures 517.1 × 517.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Chessinator9000kicad pcb use?

93 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, AP63201WU, AP63203WU and CD74HC4067M. 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 Chessinator9000kicad pcb KiCad files?

From the Danneshowrang/Chessinator-9000 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Schematic & PCB/Chessinator9000kicad_pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic Schematic & PCB/Chessinator9000.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Chessinator9000kicad pcb 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).
