Questions

How big is the FlipDot34-Nano OneSide PCB?

It measures 80 × 59.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FlipDot34-Nano OneSide use?

17 parts, built around the 74HC595. 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 FlipDot34-Nano OneSide KiCad files?

From the cazacov/FlipDot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MatrixControllers/FlipDot34Nano/OneSidePTH/KiCad/FlipDot34-Nano-OneSide.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/RS-422 Brose VM_IIC/KiCad/RS-422-Controller/RS-422-Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FlipDot34-Nano OneSide 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).
