Questions

What parts does the Eigentime32 use?

53 parts, built around the STM32L031G6U6, SN74LV1T34DBV, SN74LV4T125PW and TPS61099DRV. 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 Eigentime32 KiCad files?

From the captainchapster/Eigentime32 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/Eigentime32.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/Eigentime32.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Eigentime32 design in my own project?

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