Questions

How big is the ElectronULA PCB?

It measures 49 × 68.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ElectronULA use?

89 parts, built around the 10M08SCE144C8G, SN74HCT125D, 74LVC4245APW and MIC7221YM5-TR. 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 ElectronULA KiCad files?

From the adbsolutions/ElectronULA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/ElectronULA - MAX 10 Board V1.05/ElectronULA.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/ElectronULA - MAX 10 Board V1.05/ElectronULA.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ElectronULA design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-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).
