Questions
How big is the Meenie panel PCB?
It measures 89.9 × 92 mm and has 8 copper layers, 0.99 mm thick.
What parts does the Meenie panel use?
2,107 parts, built around the NRF52840-QIAA-R, LQP03HQ4N7H02D, RC0201FR-075K1L and CC0201JRNPO9BN101. 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 Meenie panel KiCad files?
From the RobbyV2/meenie_controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is fab/meenie-panel.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/meenie.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Meenie panel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask RobbyV2 before reusing the design.
