Questions

How big is the Pi hat PCB?

It measures 65 × 74.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pi hat use?

62 parts, built around the ATTINY85-20SU, MAX485ED, AP2210N-3.3TRG1 and PCF8523T. 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 Pi hat KiCad files?

From the TheCacophonyProject/pi-hat repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pi-hat.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pi hat 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).
