Questions
How big is the Kidboard PCB?
It measures 190 × 131 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Kidboard use?
84 parts. 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 Kidboard KiCad files?
From the aeremin/kidboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kidboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic kidboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Kidboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask aeremin before reusing the design.
