Questions
How big is the Supernova Hotswap PCB?
It measures 347.7 × 119.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Supernova Hotswap use?
179 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU, USBLC6-2P6, BAV70 and WS2812B. 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 Supernova Hotswap KiCad files?
From the PiKeeb/supernova-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Supernova_Hotswap/Supernova_Hotswap.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Supernova_Hotswap/Supernova_Hotswap.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Supernova Hotswap design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
