    • Marker character change forces new list start:
      • Ac tristique libero volutpat at
      • Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
      • Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
  • Very easy!

Questions

How big is the Kicad test PCB?

It measures 63.5 × 55.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kicad test use?

10 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 Kicad test KiCad files?

From the aherbez/kicad_test repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_test.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad_test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Kicad test design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask aherbez before reusing the design.
