Questions

How big is the Sandtrotter PCB?

It measures 42.2 × 43.8 mm and has 5 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sandtrotter use?

12 parts, built around the CR2032. 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 Sandtrotter KiCad files?

From the abetusk/dev repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is projects/sandtrotter/export/v0.1.0/KiCAD/board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sandtrotter design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the AGPL-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).
