CH32V203 keychain thing!

Featuring three side-view LEDs at the back with plenty of exposed FR4, so that light shines through the PCB. The four edge exposed copper things at the side have capacitive touch. Also, all unused pins are broken out :D

Questions

How big is the Cat32 PCB?

It measures 48 × 15 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Cat32 use?

35 parts, built around the CH32V203G6U6. 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 Cat32 KiCad files?

From the acornitum/cat32 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cat32.kicad_pcb and its schematic cat32.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Cat32 design in my own project?

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