Questions
How big is the Interrupter PCB?
It measures 84.5 × 81.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Interrupter use?
42 parts, built around the ATMEGA168-20PU and LD1117V33. 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 Interrupter KiCad files?
From the Caraffa-git/SD-Interrupter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/tht/interrupter.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/smd/interrupter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Interrupter design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
