Questions

How big is the HW Tester PCB?

It measures 125.7 × 68.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the HW Tester use?

40 parts, built around the ATMEGA32A-PU. 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 HW Tester KiCad files?

From the Sho-Keebs/HW-Tester repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/hw-tester.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the HW Tester design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
