Questions
How big is the BalanceBoard PCB?
It measures 49.5 × 49.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BalanceBoard use?
90 parts, built around the FT232RL and MPU-6050. 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 BalanceBoard KiCad files?
From the ashleyjr/BalanceBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/rev_a/BalanceBoard/BalanceBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/rev_a/BalanceBoard/BalanceBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BalanceBoard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ashleyjr before reusing the design.
