Questions
How big is the Peanut PCB?
It measures 227.9 × 65.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Peanut use?
70 parts, built around the AP2112K-3.3, PRTR5V0U2X and SKQGABE010. 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 Peanut KiCad files?
From the calvin-mcd/peanut repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Project/peanut.kicad_pcb and its schematic Project/matrix.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Peanut 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).
