Questions
How big is the Minidrive PCB?
It measures 25 × 40.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Minidrive use?
20 parts. 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 Minidrive KiCad files?
From the Annath/Minidrive repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MiniDrive.kicad_pcb and its schematic MiniDrive.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Minidrive design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Annath before reusing the design.
