Questions

What parts does the Back use?

62 parts, built around the ATSAMD21G18A-AU, LIS3DH and TP4057. 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 Back KiCad files?

From the ayukmr/pendant repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/back/back.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/back/back.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Back design in my own project?

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