Questions
How big is the Jorge PCB?
It measures 57 × 115 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Jorge use?
9 parts. 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 Jorge KiCad files?
From the Bensas/Aleph-USV repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Electronics/Jorge/Jorge.kicad_pcb and its schematic Electronics/Jorge/Jorge.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Jorge design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Bensas before reusing the design.
