Questions
How big is the Hexdump PCB?
It measures 406 × 27.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hexdump use?
70 parts, built around the STM32F030F4P6 and TC7258E. 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 Hexdump KiCad files?
From the brainsmoke/hexboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/horiz/hexdump.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hexdump design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask brainsmoke before reusing the design.
