Questions

How big is the Chaac ng PCB?

It measures 39 × 92 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Chaac ng use?

82 parts, built around the STM32L412KBT6, E22-900M22S, MAX3221CPW and TPS61252DSG. 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 Chaac ng KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Chaac ng 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).
