Questions

How big is the Flatburn V5 PCB?

It measures 130 × 125 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.58 mm thick.

What parts does the Flatburn V5 use?

587 parts, built around the MCP6022-I/SN, TPS630702RNMR, TXS0102DQER and ISL28022FUZ. 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 Flatburn V5 KiCad files?

From the MIT-Senseable-City-Lab/flatburn-lte repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/electronics/Flatburn_V5.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/electronics/Flatburn_V5.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flatburn V5 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).
