Questions

How big is the HEXCORE PCB Design v0 PCB?

It measures 132.5 × 105 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the HEXCORE PCB Design v0 use?

160 parts, built around the STM32F405RGT6, PCA9685BS, DHT11 and LTC2945CMS#PBF. 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 HEXCORE PCB Design v0 KiCad files?

From the JoshCrouch/HEXCORE repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HEXCORE Control Board (Prev)/HEXCORE PCB Design v0/HEXCORE PCB Design v0.kicad_pcb and its schematic HEXCORE Control Board (Prev)/HEXCORE PCB Design v0/HEXCORE PCB Design v0.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the HEXCORE PCB Design v0 design in my own project?

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