Questions

How big is the Menestel PCB?

It measures 94 × 59 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Menestel use?

31 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 Menestel KiCad files?

From the afiskon/retro-computers repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is bk001x/menestrel/kicad-project/menestel.kicad_pcb and its schematic bk001x/menestrel/kicad-project/menestel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Menestel design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
