Questions

How big is the SmallKat v2 PCB?

It measures 100 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.57 mm thick.

What parts does the SmallKat v2 use?

142 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8 and BNO085. 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 SmallKat v2 KiCad files?

From the OperationSmallKat/SmallKat-Motherboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SmallKat v2.kicad_pcb and its schematic 3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SmallKat v2 design in my own project?

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