Questions
How big is the Laika PCB?
It measures 30.2 × 77.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Laika use?
22 parts, built around the MMC5983MA, MS5611-01BA03, PCA9685PW and LSM6DSL. 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 Laika KiCad files?
From the AeybelV/Laika_PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Laika/Laika.kicad_pcb and its schematic Laika/Laika.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Laika design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AeybelV before reusing the design.
