Questions
How big is the Flashgordon PCB?
It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Flashgordon use?
26 parts, built around the LM2596S-3.3, FT2232HL and JUMPER3. 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 Flashgordon KiCad files?
From the c-base/flashgordon repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is flashgordon.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Flashgordon design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
