Questions

How big is the Tracker PCB?

It measures 27.9 × 40.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tracker use?

16 parts, built around the ATTINY85-15M, A4988 and MC78L05ABD. 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 Tracker KiCad files?

From the AndreasFMueller/Tracker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/tracker.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tracker design in my own project?

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