Questions

How big is the XIAO-7SEG PCB?

It measures 21.1 × 17.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.

What parts does the XIAO-7SEG use?

17 parts, built around the GS2816CW-G and AO3400A. 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 XIAO-7SEG KiCad files?

From the cHemingway/XIAO-7SEG repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is XIAO 7SEG.kicad_pcb and its schematic XIAO 7SEG.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the XIAO-7SEG design in my own project?

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