Questions
How big is the Spotify desk thing PCB?
It measures 71.3 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Spotify desk thing use?
46 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8, PCM5242RHBR, TPS62162DSGR and EC11E18244A5. 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 Spotify desk thing KiCad files?
From the blazecoding2009/spotify-desk-thing repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/spotify desk thing.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/spotify desk thing.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Spotify desk thing design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask blazecoding2009 before reusing the design.
