Questions
How big is the Project Apex PCB?
It measures 57 × 36 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Project Apex use?
21 parts, built around the ESP32-S3, LM2596S-3.3 and IRLZ44N. 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 Project Apex KiCad files?
From the VoxyX2/Project-Apex-part-1-electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Project Apex.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Project Apex.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Project Apex design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask VoxyX2 before reusing the design.
