Questions

How big is the MiniSys Backplane PCB?

It measures 268.6 × 120.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MiniSys Backplane use?

129 parts, built around the ATTINY861A-PU, DS18B20, LM4250CJ and TX25-120P-6ST-H1E. 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 MiniSys Backplane KiCad files?

From the ab0tj/MiniSys repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Boards/Backplane/MiniSys-Backplane.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MiniSys Backplane design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ab0tj before reusing the design.
