Questions

How big is the Minimax PCB?

It measures 40 × 40 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.54 mm thick.

What parts does the Minimax use?

58 parts, built around the MAX20049ATED/VY+, MAX96717GTJ/VY+, DMG1012T and PRT-14417. 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 Minimax KiCad files?

From the bradyte/minimax repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/minimax.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/camera.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Minimax design in my own project?

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