Questions

How big is the Chewtoy PCB?

It measures 86.4 × 54.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Chewtoy use?

37 parts, built around the PCA9518PW, PCF8575CDB, CAT24C256LI and LP5907. 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 Chewtoy KiCad files?

From the adamatom/chewtoy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cape/chewtoy.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Chewtoy design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
