Overview
BlackBoxProbeBig is an open-source printed circuit board by Squantor, from the Squantor/blackBoxProbe repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 44 × 44 mm with 78 parts on 63 nets, routed with 685 tracks and 80 vias.
It is built around the STM32F103CBT6 and USBLC6-2P6. Its parts include 33 resistors, 21 capacitors, 7 ICs, 4 diodes and 4 connectors. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

README
electronics/blackBoxProbeMicro/README.mdBlackBoxProbe Micro variant
A boxed clone of the black magic probe. The black magic probe hardware is good but I would like something more then just a bare PCB and a more suitable connector for the serial connection. This project is here to solve that need. Do note, support the people at blacksphere technologies by buying their excellent probe. I have made this probe to have a nicer boxed version that I can use. This version has mostly 0402 components and is housed in a smaller box.

Questions
How big is the BlackBoxProbeBig PCB?
It measures 44 × 44 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BlackBoxProbeBig use?
78 parts, built around the STM32F103CBT6 and USBLC6-2P6. 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 BlackBoxProbeBig KiCad files?
From the Squantor/blackBoxProbe repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/blackBoxProbeBig/blackBoxProbeBig.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/blackBoxProbeMicro/blackBoxProbeMicro.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BlackBoxProbeBig design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
