Questions

How big is the 2x2 PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 2x2 use?

149 parts, built around the MCP73831 and NCP170AXV330. 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 2x2 KiCad files?

From the brainsmoke/miniball repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is driver_pcb_2.0/2x2.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 2x2 design in my own project?

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