Questions
How big is the Memsbreakout w50 PCB?
It measures 34.9 × 38.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Memsbreakout w50 use?
8 parts. 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 Memsbreakout w50 KiCad files?
From the PisterLab/mems-breakout-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mems_breakout_w50/memsbreakout_w50.kicad_pcb and its schematic mems_breakout_w50/memsbreakout_w50.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Memsbreakout w50 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask PisterLab before reusing the design.
