Questions
How big is the Boson PCB?
It measures 21 × 21 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Boson use?
8 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3 and DF40HC(4.0)-80DS-0.4V(51). 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 Boson KiCad files?
From the Altomare/pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is bosonator/boson.kicad_pcb and its schematic bosonator/boson.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Boson design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Altomare before reusing the design.
