Overview
Pathfinder is an open-source printed circuit board by Vaaxs, from the Vaaxs/stasis-pathfinder repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 76 × 48.5 mm with 5 parts on 15 nets, routed with 53 tracks and 0 vias.
Its parts include 2 switches, 1 resistor, 1 IC and 1 diode. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.
README
README.mdHello, this is my first Project for Stasis.
I followed the tutorial for the Pathfinder while adding a knob/rotary encoder and using that for most of my uniqueness.
More images and progress can be found in my journals.
My Pathfinder has a button that puts power to the LED, and a knob that gives a value in the Serial monitor that can also reset back to zero.

Questions
How big is the Pathfinder PCB?
It measures 76 × 48.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pathfinder use?
5 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 Pathfinder KiCad files?
From the Vaaxs/stasis-pathfinder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pathfinder.kicad_pcb and its schematic pathfinder.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pathfinder design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Vaaxs before reusing the design.
