Questions

What parts does the BOSTON use?

32 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 BOSTON KiCad files?

From the bitterpanda63/ect-eng-boston repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BOSTON.kicad_pcb and its schematic BOSTON.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BOSTON 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).
