Questions
How big is the AA P CtrlBd PCB?
It measures 108.7 × 111.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the AA P CtrlBd use?
114 parts, built around the 74LVC2G34GW, 74AHCT1G125SE, FT231XS-R and 74LVC1G10DW. 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 AA P CtrlBd KiCad files?
From the AESilky/ack-ack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/AA_P_CtrlBd.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/AA_P1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the AA P CtrlBd design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AESilky before reusing the design.
