Questions

How big is the Circus agent PCB?

It measures 29.4 × 40.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Circus agent use?

66 parts, built around the C8051F850-C-GU, TSOP38438, PMV65XPEA and IRLML6244TRPBF. 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 Circus agent KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Circus agent design in my own project?

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