Questions

How big is the Schematics PCB?

It measures 123.3 × 79.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Schematics use?

85 parts, built around the ATMEGA2560-16AU, FT232RL, 74HC165D and 74HC595. 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 Schematics KiCad files?

From the aperfectcypher/KSP-Launchpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/mainboard/mainboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic panels/controls/controls.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Schematics design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Unlicense licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
