Questions
How big is the Attiny pwm PCB?
It measures 45 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Attiny pwm use?
29 parts, built around the ATTINY402-SSN and IRLZ44N. 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 Attiny pwm KiCad files?
From the OE8HSR/Fancy-Dimmer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is attiny_pwm.kicad_pcb and its schematic attiny_pwm.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Attiny pwm design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask OE8HSR before reusing the design.
