Questions

How big is the 1 Distribution Board PCB?

It measures 130 × 120 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 1 Distribution Board use?

151 parts, built around the R-78B12-2.0, R-78B6.5-1.5, R-78C5.0-1.0 and PCA9685PW. 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 1 Distribution Board KiCad files?

From the basicallysource/sorter-v2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/KiCad/1_Distribution_Board/1_Distribution_Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/KiCad/0_Adapter_Board/0_Adapter_Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 1 Distribution Board design in my own project?

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