Questions

How big is the Pi Breakout Board PCB?

It measures 56.5 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pi Breakout Board use?

75 parts, built around the PCA9685PW and SMBJ5.0A. 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 Pi Breakout Board KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Pi Breakout Board design in my own project?

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