Questions
How big is the MiniSlat PCB?
It measures 160 × 106 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.
What parts does the MiniSlat use?
77 parts, built around the ATSAMD21G18A-AU, INA219BID, AP7370-33SA and RFM95W-915S2. 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 MiniSlat KiCad files?
From the albachten/MiniSlat repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MiniSlat.kicad_pcb and its schematic MiniSlat.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MiniSlat design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
