Questions
How big is the Redbox PCB?
It measures 52 × 54 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Redbox use?
19 parts, built around the RP2040-ZERO. 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 Redbox KiCad files?
From the asivery/redbox repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/redbox/redbox.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/redbox/redbox.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Redbox design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
