Questions

How big is the Mothbox 5.0.6 PCB?

It measures 237 × 139.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mothbox 5.0.6 use?

185 parts, built around the DS18B20U, XL4015E1, PCA9555PW and RASPBERRY PI 5 2GB. 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 Mothbox 5.0.6 KiCad files?

From the Digital-Naturalism-Laboratories/Mothbox_Electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Mothbox_PCBs/Mothbox_PCB_5.0.6/MothBox/Mothbox_5.0.6.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mothbox 5.0.6 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).
