Questions

How big is the CharliePad PCB?

It measures 54 × 79 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CharliePad use?

30 parts, built around the ATTINY85-20PU, 1N4148WS and USB4105-GF-A. 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 CharliePad KiCad files?

From the GerardoNevarez/CharliePad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is charliepad.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CharliePad design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
