Questions
How big is the B Deck PCB?
It measures 97.6 × 67.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the B Deck use?
20 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 B Deck KiCad files?
From the bigloosegoose/B-Deck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is B-Deck/PCB/B-Deck.kicad_pcb and its schematic B-Deck/PCB/B-Deck.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the B Deck design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask bigloosegoose before reusing the design.
