Questions

How big is the Star clip PCB?

It measures 41.9 × 40.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the Star clip use?

22 parts, built around the CR2032. 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 Star clip KiCad files?

From the ajkumar-1907/PCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is cassiopeia-star-hairclip/kicad/star_clip.kicad_pcb and its schematic cassiopeia-star-hairclip/kicad/star_clip.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Star clip design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ajkumar-1907 before reusing the design.
