Questions
How big is the Hexapod PCB KiCad Project PCB?
It measures 96.5 × 81.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hexapod PCB KiCad Project use?
48 parts, built around the DEV-16771. 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 Hexapod PCB KiCad Project KiCad files?
From the Aecert-Robotics/Hexapod repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Hexapod PCB KiCad Project/Hexapod PCB KiCad Project.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Hexapod PCB KiCad Project/Hexapod PCB KiCad Project.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hexapod PCB KiCad Project 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).
