Questions

How big is the GatchaspFlex PCB?

It measures 48.2 × 88.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.19 mm thick.

What parts does the GatchaspFlex use?

22 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 GatchaspFlex KiCad files?

From the bobwulff/gatchaSPflexboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is gatchaspFlex_withSpeaker/gatchaspFlex.kicad_pcb and its schematic gatchaFlex_NEWEST_8.0/gatchaFlex_8.0.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GatchaspFlex design in my own project?

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